Oreo cookies were born in the USA in 1912. It immediately gained such popularity among Americans that its name became a household name. The fact is that "Oreo" is two black biscuits (namely anthracite, not coffee) in color, fastened together with white vanilla cream. Therefore, among black Americans, this word began to be used to refer to those people from Africa who too much wanted to please the whites, to distance themselves from "their own." However, when Oreo biscuits with cream of other colors began to be produced along with the classic taste, the nominal value was forgotten.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the production of popular cookies was established in the Old World, namely in Spain. It has become more accessible to Europeans, but, alas, not to Russians. You can buy Oreo cookies in Moscow only throughOnline stores on order, while in Ukraine it is sold in every kiosk. How to explain this phenomenon? Maybe the civil services saw in the cookies a danger to the he alth of Russians? Or is this some kind of protection for a domestic manufacturer?

However, let's not fool ourselves with the problem of where to buy Oreo cookies, but cook it ourselves. Moreover, there is nothing complicated in this. It may not turn out as black as a branded product, but no less tasty. To achieve such a deep color, making the tongue eerie bluish, the cocoa for the dough is specially processed. Although this is just a marketing ploy, the color does not affect the taste in any way. And self-cooking cookies will save us from antioxidants E304 and E306, ammonium bicarbonate, soy lecithin and other nonsense.

In order to make Oreo cookies almost like the original, don't skimp on replacing the ingredients with cheaper ersatz. Only high-quality butter - 200-gram pack. If you do not have powdered sugar, grind 250 g of sand into powder in a coffee grinder. Separate 125 grams from a pack of butter, heat it to room temperature and start beating. Gradually add 100 g of powdered sugar and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix 125 g flour, 50 g cocoa powder, a pinch of baking powder and a pinch of s alt. Pour this into a homogeneous butter-sugar mass. At first, it will seem to you that nothing can be molded from this solid crumb. However, stillknead diligently, and your work will be rewarded.

Place the gingerbread man in the refrigerator for half an hour. After that, between two layers of cling film, roll out the dough into a thin layer (about 3 mm thick). Cut out circles with a cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Place a baking sheet there and bake the Oreos for about 10 minutes. The main thing is not to overdo it. Although at first the biscuits will seem damp to you, they will be painfully soft. And as soon as they cool down, they will harden.

Cream is even easier to cook. Beat the remaining butter, icing sugar and a little vanilla extract until smooth. Use a knife to spread the cream on the back of one biscuit and cover with another. Also try homemade Oreo cookies with mascarpone cream, powdered sugar and white chocolate.
