Oreo Kahlua Cookies

I got this recipe from Yummy Magazine’s June 2011 issue. My heart skips a beat whenever I see a new Yummy Mag issue in a 7-11 newsstand. I totally salivate when I see adore the food photographs. You should get one, I read it from cover to cover.

Fact: I read a magazine from back to front. I get disoriented if I do otherwise. Okay, totally irrelevant, I digress.

Anyway, one recipe caught my attention... and it read – 

***Homemade Oreo Cookies***

Dang it got me!

We don’t have kids at home to prepare “baon” or lunch boxes for but my sister and I can take some to nibble on while at work so I decided to give this one a try with a wee bit of a twist. Who can resist an oreo cookie spiked.. erm… I mean flavored with Kahlua? I can’t. 

Oreo Kahlua Cookies

Adapted from Yummy Magazine (June 2011 Issue)

Makes 2 to 3 dozen

Baking time 9 to 12 minutes

For the cookie -

½ cup butter

1 cup all-purpose-floor

1 cup sugar

½ cup cocoa powder

¾ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 teaspoon Kahlua

For the fillng –

½ cup butter

1 ¼ cups confectioner’s sugar

1 teaspoon Kahlua (or more)

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. In an electric  mixer, combine all the ingredients until they come together to form a dough. Chill for 15 minutes.

3. Shape into balls. [I used my smallest scoop (quarter of an ounce) to form evenly sized cookies]  Place on a cookie sheet leaving a two inch gap in between cookies. 

Flatten a little and bake for 9 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool. 

Oops, I can't wait, I just have to taste it!

4. Line cookies in columns and flip alternating columns with the bottom facing up.

5. Prepare the filling by mixing all the ingredients in a mixer.

6. For an evenly disdributed filling, place mixture in a piping bag with a round tip attached. 

7. Pipe small dots into the cookies with bottom facing up

8. Sandwich the cookies and enjoy.

And enjoyed it, I did. I washed the cookies down with malt flavored soy milk.

Oreo Kahlua cookies + malt flavored soy milk = a cookie heaven experience.


Happy Cupcaking,
