Sourdough Discard Oreos

Oreos are one of my husband’s favorite cookies and when my toddler asked for some, I decided to try to make my own with some sourdough discard! The process was relatively quick and I was left with a big batch of cookies and leftovers to put into my freezer to see how well they froze. Here’s how I made them!

Ingredients

For the cookie:

• 113g sourdough discard

• 261g all purpose flour (you could theoretically try freshly milled. I was not feeling this ambitious today)

• 86g black cocoa powder (I have the one I used linked in my amazon storefront)

• 2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 400g sugar

• 228g butter at room temperature]

• 2 large eggs

For the filling:

• 226g butter

• 5 teaspoons vanilla

• 3 cups powdered sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit

2. Combine your dry ingredients for the cookies and set aside

3. Use hand mixer or stand mixer to whip butter and eggs together, add sugar.

4. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients and mix until combined.

5. Onto two parchment paper lined baking sheets, spoon 1 tablespoon sized cookies onto the sheets and press down so the cookie is a little flat, make sure they are 2 inches apart

6. Bake them in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.

7. When they are cooked thoroughly and fragrant, take them out of the oven and allow to cool thoroughly before icing

8. While your cookies are cooling, prepare your icing by combining your icing ingredients in a bowl and beating thoroughly with a hand mixer or stand mixer.

9. Ice your cookies with about a teaspoon of icing for single stuffed cookies and 1/2 a tablespoon for “double stuffed” cookies. Place your second cookie on top and enjoy!

Let me know if you try these and what you thought of them!
