Homemade Oreos

One of Brays favourite cookies was the Oreo but every time he ate one he literally went crazy because of all the sugar in the cookie.  He has become more aware that eating those types of foods do not agree with him and he keeps asking me to make alternatives for him.  He asked me to make Oreos that would be good for him and that is just what I did.

Homemade Oreos

1 1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

Filling

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup palm shortening

3/4 cup icing sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Mix together the wet ingredients and then add the dry ingredients until a dough forms.  Chill for 20-30 minutes.  Roll out the dough and cut with a round cutter.  Bake at 350 F for 8 minutes.  Allow the cookies to cool.  Mix together the filling and make the cookies.
