How To Make Homemade Oreo Cakesters

If you’re a fan of the iconic Oreo Cakesters and want to indulge in an even better homemade version full of nostalgia, you’re in for a treat! In this guide, I’ll take you through the step-by-step process of creating these delecious sandwich cookies right in your own kitchen. Get ready to impress your friends and family with these irresistible treats!

1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F and lining two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and granulated sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, mixing well.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, black cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add milk as needed to ensure the dough comes together.
4. Shape and Bake: Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheets and gently flatten with the palm of your hand. Bake for 7-8 minutes, until set but still soft.
5. Prepare Filling: While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, confectioner’s sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract. Gradually add heavy cream until the filling reaches a smooth consistency.
6. Assemble Cakesters: Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous dollop of filling onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another. Repeat until all cookies are filled.
7. Enjoy: Indulge in the deliciousness of your homemade Oreo Cakesters! Serve them as a delightful treat for dessert, snack time, or any occasion.

How To Store Homemade Oreo Cakesters

To store your homemade Oreo Cakesters, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer freshness, store them in the refrigerator, where they can last for up to a week. Enjoy them whenever you crave a sweet and satisfying snack!

What Is Black Cocoa?

Black cocoa powder is a type of cocoa powder that has been processed with an alkalizing agent, giving it a dark color and a rich, intense flavor. It is commonly used in baked goods to add depth and richness to chocolate recipes.

Can I Use Regular Cocoa Powder?

While black cocoa powder is preferred for its distinct color and flavor, you can substitute it with regular cocoa powder if needed. Keep in mind that the color and flavor of the final product may vary slightly.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 egg, room temperature

• 1 egg yolk, room temperature

• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup black cocoa powder

• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

• 1/4 tsp. salt

• 2 Tbsp. milk

• Oreo Cakester Filling

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 2 cups confectioner’s sugar

• 1 cup marshmallow fluff

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 2-3 Tbsp. heavy cream

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and the sugar. Mix until smooth – about 2 minutes.
• Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Continue to mix while scraping down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula to make sure that everything is being incorporated evenly.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and continue to mix to combine. Just as the dough starts to crumble together, add in the 2 tablespoons of milk to help combine the dough completely. The dough should be soft.
• Scoop and roll the dough into a ball. Each one should be about 2 tablespoons amount.
• Place the balls on the prepared cookie sheet then use the palm of your hand to gently press the cookies down slightly. Bake for about 7 minutes. We want them to stay soft so undertaking them and then leaving them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes after baking will leave you with the perfect texture.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling.
• Filling
• Use an electric mixer to mix everything together while slowly adding in the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time. Mix until nice and smooth.
• Once the cookies have cooled completely, fill each one with filling either using a piping bag or simply spreading it on the bottom of one cookie with a knife. Top with another cookie facing up and there you have it!
• Enjoy!
