Are you craving some Oreos this festive season instead of the same old gingerbread? In that case, why bother stepping out in the cold? Here I have the perfect recipe for Oreo Christmas cookies for you! 

If you’re a chocolate lover, you’d know that the cravings never go away, regardless of the time of the year. Oreos are a guilty pleasure for most of us. Even though store-bought Oreos are delicious, they aren’t fresh. This recipe will help you easily make fresh Oreos at home! 

Baking fresh Oreos at home may sound daunting. Don’t worry, though! These Oreo Christmas cookies are made with ingredients that are readily available in the market. The recipe is also very easy to follow! You’d have a fun time if you make these with your kids!

This recipe has a resting time for the dough, and once the cookies are rolled out and placed on the baking tray. This is for the butter to solidify. The resting process makes it easier to roll out the dough without the butter melting. This stops the dough from getting too sticky and is easier to handle. However, the cookies are so scrumptious that it makes the resting time worth it!

Let me walk you through the recipe for these Oreo Christmas cookies. You will find a list of all the necessary ingredients and equipment that you’ll need for this recipe. These preservative-free Oreos are sure to be a hit! This festive season, let us dive into our chocolate cravings together! 

What Equipment Will You Need To Make Oreo Christmas Cookies?

• Bowl – You will need a large bowl to mix all the chocolaty goodness together for these cookies.
• Hand-Mixer – You will need a hand-mixer to cream the butter and sugar together. I would highly suggest using a hand-mixer rather than a whisk. A whisk will not be able to cream the butter well and will cramp up your arm.
• Spatula – Use a spatula to fold the flour and cocoa powder into the butter and egg mixture.
• Sieve – Use a sieve to sift the flour and cocoa powder to avoid getting lumps.
• Rolling Pin – You will need a rolling pin to roll out the cookie dough. Rolling the cookie dough will give you cookies with even-sized thickness.
• Baking Tray – Use two flat baking trays to bake your cookies.
• Baking Paper – You will need a baking paper roll. Here, the baking paper will be used to layout on the tray to avoid the cookies from sticking to the tray. We will also use baking paper while rolling out the cookies, as this will again help prevent the dough from sticking to the counter.
• Cookie Cutter – You will need a cookie cutter that is 2 inches in diameter to cut out the cookies.

How Much Time Will You Need To Make Oreo Christmas Cookies?

What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Oreo Christmas Cookies?

• Flour – You will need all-purpose flour for this recipe. Flour is the main ingredient for cookies as it provides structure. 
• Eggs – You will need a whole egg and egg yolk for this recipe. Eggs are the main wet ingredient in any baked good that binds all the dry ingredients together.
• Butter – Make sure you use soft or room temperature butter for this recipe as it will be easier to cream.
• Cocoa Powder – Cocoa powder will give the cookies a distinct chocolate taste.
• Granulated Sugar – Sugar will give the cookies their sweet taste. You can also use castor sugar for this recipe.
• Light Brown Sugar – This will add sweetness to the cookies and will also give the cookies a chewier texture.
• Baking Powder – Baking powder will help with leavening and will spread and bake the cookie evenly.
• Vanilla Extract – This will add a slight vanilla flavor to the cookies and will help enhance other flavors.
• Salt – This may sound odd, but it works! A pinch of salt in this recipe will also help enhance the flavors of all the other ingredients.
• Fondant Icing – You will need fondant icing to use as a filling for the cookies. It is easily available in the market!

Steps To Make Oreo Christmas Cookies

1. Whipping Up The Dough.

In a large bowl, add the soft butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, and cream it with a hand mixer until it is light and fluffy. Once the mixture is light, add egg and egg yolk to it, one at a time. Add the vanilla essence along with the eggs. After the eggs are incorporated, sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold them into the mixture with a spatula until everything is mixed together and it forms a dough. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for one hour.

2. All You Knead Is Dough.

Once the dough has rested enough, take it out of the refrigerator and knead it a little bit. Kneading will help give a smoother surface to the cookies. Make sure not to over-knead as that will melt the butter and will turn the dough sticky. 

3. Roll It Out.

Roll the dough out between two pieces of baking paper to avoid the dough from sticking to your work surface. Roll it to ¼ inch thickness and cut circles out with the cookie cutter. Transfer them to a baking tray lined with baking paper and again refrigerate for 20 minutes. The second round of refrigeration will help the cookies cool and spread them evenly while baking.

4. Let’s Get Baking!

Once the second round of refrigeration is done, we finally get to baking! Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. After that, place the baking tray in the oven and let the cookies bake for 10 minutes. Do not overbake them as that might turn them bitter. Once baked, lay the cookies out on a wire rack and let them cool completely.

5. Fillings Matter.

Roll the fondant out to ½ inch thickness on a surface dusted with icing sugar. Cut out circles with the same 2-inch cookie cutter and keep them aside.

6. Assemble!

Once the cookies have cooled completely, sandwich the cut pieces of fondant between two cookies to make your own Oreos! Serve immediately or store for later!
