Servings: 20-25 sandwich cookies
Cooking Time: 12-15 minutes
Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookies: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. Add softened butter and mix until a dough forms.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
5. Cut Out the Cookies: Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough.
6. Bake the Cookies: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm to the touch.
7. Make the Filling: Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
8. Assemble the Oreos: Once the cookies are cool, spread a small amount of filling on one half of a cookie and top with another cookie.

Tips:

• Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum for better texture.
• If the cookies are too crumbly, try adding a little more butter or egg to the dough.
• Experiment with different flavors of filling, such as mint or peanut butter.

Variations:

• Use different types of cocoa powder or chocolate for a different flavor profile.
• Add nuts or espresso powder to the cookies for extra flavor.
• Make mini Oreos using a smaller cookie cutter.

Enjoy your delicious Gluten-Free Oreos!
