I’ve been dying to try Deb’s Homemade Oreos for ages now (Deb: my new Ina? LOOKS THAT WAY), and last night seemed like just the opportunity–while I waited for Tom to trek home from his ski trip (and, okay, for my Idol/Lost doubleheader to begin), I whipped up a batch of these bad boys in the ‘ol Kitchenaid.
Verdict: these are really serious cookies.
For all their prettiness–and they are so pretty, quite possibly the loveliest-looking little treats I’ve ever made–these don’t actually take that long, and are all kinds of easy to assemble. The chocolate wafers bake super evenly, and the filling is pretty damn similar in texture to the white stuff in the middle of the Nabisco kind.
Having said that: these are really serious cookies. Were I to make them again, I might cut the sugar in the chocolate part even more than the recipe suggests–and I actually might do the same for the filling. They were just a little too sweet for me (which is saying something). Still, they were totally delicious with a giant glass of milk, and achieve a most delightful sogginess when dunked. I daresay they’d make a perfect addition to your Valentine’s Day. Or mine.

Katie, Alex made her second batch last night, and I agree, they were too sweet. On saturday, when she made her first batch I didn’t feel that way. Maybe the rain outside and my profound gratitude or something. But last night, I thought the cookie could use some coffee, and the filling could use some mint, or orange, or something. She took them to the high school today, and I am sure there will be no complaints.
BTW, love your pix of them.
