Nothing says “Delicious” like an Oreo cookie and a tall
glass of milk. Original Oreo’s are good,
double stuffed Oreo’s are great and Mega stuffed Oreo’s are even better, but
nothing beats a giant Oreo cookie. This
cookie will have your friends and family members begging you to make it for
their birthdays and other parties.
If you want to try your hand at making your own giant Oreo
cookie, here are the things you will need:
For the cookie
- 1 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ¾ cup (1 and a half sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- Black food coloring (optional)
(This makes one portion of the giant cookie. Double this recipe and divide into two if you
don’t want to make two separate batches)
For the Filling
- 7 cups confectionary sugar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- 4 tablespoons hot water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to
375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large bowl,
mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar until well
mixed.
3. Add butter and
egg. Mix until it becomes a doughy
consistency
4. Add black food
coloring (optional)
5. Place dough in a 9 inch pan lined with
parchment paper and press dough down firmly.
6. Bake for 12-16
minutes depending on the thickness. 1 inch deep should take
about 12 minutes.
7. Remove from oven
and place on cooling rack.
8. Repeat these steps
for the second portion of the cookie.
Filling
In a
large bowl, mix all the ingredients together using an electric mixer at
medium speed for about 5-7 minutes.
(It will appear dry but should feel almost like play dough when
complete.)
When complete, combine the filling with the cookies and
prepare to serve. Share with your
friends and family.
