These are easy, delicious and the recipe worked well with gluten free substitutes. I came across the recipe through the black apple who found it via smitten kitchen who adapted the recipe from this book by Wayne Brachman. I used the sugar quantities that Emily used as I like my cookies a wee bit chewy too. I also only used butter for the filling instead of shortening. We didn't have quite enough icing sugar in the house so my filling is a little soft but oh so good! (and easy enough to spread with just the back of a spoon)
It has been 4 or 5 years since I had a real oreo and these homemade ones seem to taste very close to my memory of the real deal!

oh my god these look awesome. Yum Yum. Marking this post for when I get my oven fixed - assuming they need baking. :)
Scooting over to your blog Hayley to see what you've been baking.
Hope your oven gets fixed soon ElsieMay :)
Oh, they look yummy! It's funny, I was just talking about oreos the other day. So did you just substitute the "all purpose flour" for plain gluten free flour? I have to confess, I haven't explored gf baking outside of a packet mix yet....
Yes Mel, I use ORGRAN all purpose plain flour in these and any other cookies. We should do a bake off some time...when we have more time :)
yum - I made them. Thanks for posting this!
they are good aren't they Sal x
