Homemade Oreo Cookies and Silk Milk make the Perfect Combination

Blog· Food and Drinks

I’ve worked really hard all year to start making everything from scratch whether it be laundry detergent to brownies. I’m trying to make small tweaks to my diet that will make a big difference in the long run. This past weekend, I was craving something sweet. Oreos and milk were two things that I couldn’t get out of my mind. So guess what I did? I found a recipe and made my own!

To make things even sweeter, I drank my oreo cookies with Silk Cashew Milk. This milk has only 60 calories per serving in Original; 25% fewer calories than skim milk. Not only was I getting to eat healthier Oreo cookies but I got to drink milk that didn’t have all the calories.

Homemade Oreos Cookies Recipe

Homemade Oreo Cookies

Dough

  • 1 1/4 cups butter, at room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups flour

Cream Filling

  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 T. vanilla extract
  • water
  1. In a stand mixer, with a cookie paddle attached, cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
  3. Add half of the flour and mix.
  4. Add the remaining flour. You want the dough to be a bit dry.
  5. Divide the dough into 3 balls and pat them together to form a disk.
  6. Cover the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
  7. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  9. Remove plastic from one disk and roll your dough out on a lightly floured surface.
  10. Roll the dough thin.
  11. Use a 2 inch circle cutter to cut out the cookies. (A shot glass also works – no joke!)
  12. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes.

Cream Filling

  1. While the dough is chilling, mix up the cream filling.
  2. Using a stand mixer with a cookie paddle attachment, mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract together.
  3. If needed, Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until the mixture resembles a thick dough that is about the constancy of play dough.
  4. Let the filling chill in the fridge while the cookies are baking.

Assemble

  1. Remove the filling from the plastic wrap.
  2. Let the filling rest at room temperature or put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften.
  3. Now fill the cookies with as much cream filling as you want!

This looks like a lot of directions, but it didn’t take any time to make these cookies. I enjoyed my cookies with Silk Cashew Milk to satisfy my sweet tooth. The Silk Cashew Milk was the perfect compliment to my chocolate cookies. If you’re not familiar with Silk Milk, it’s time to check it out. Some things that I love about Silk milk is that it’s Lactose-free, Dairy-free, Cholesterol-free, has No high-fructose corn syrup, No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Do I need to go on?  Made with the special creaminess of cashews, NEW Silk Cashewmilk brings an irresistibly creamy taste that is perfect over cereal, in recipes or straight from the carton. When drinking their flavors like the cashew, you don’t even realize you’re drinking milk!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
