Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or a sugar substitute)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a dough.
3. Shape and Bake:
- Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with the back of a spoon to create a cookie shape. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cookies are set. Allow them to cool completely.
4. Prepare the Filling:
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar (or substitute), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble the Oreos:
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a dollop of the cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top it with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
6. Chill and Enjoy:
- For optimal flavor and texture, refrigerate the homemade Oreos for at least 30 minutes before indulging. This step helps the filling set and enhances the overall taste.
