Making food fun for the family

Halloween Oreos

by



There have been several spottings and postings of Halloween Oreos all over social media in the past couple of weeks–stores are stocking up on these fun-filled cookies and so are my friends. There is a part of me that gets all delighted and stuff because, well, it’s Halloween season. But then I am quickly reminded that I am unable to partake in those delicious celebratory cookies. Good thing I wrote a cookbook (Decadent Gluten-Free Vegan Baking) with a gluten-free vegan Oreo recipe. All I needed to do was turn the white filling into an orange glow (I used this food coloring which is gluten-free and vegan). Piece of cake! (or cookie…)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 6 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 6 Tbsp. non-hydrogenated shortening

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  3. Add the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a nice dough forms. It might be a little crumbly; simply place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and gently knead until a smooth ball if formed.
  4. Roll between two pieces of parchment paper until approximately 1/4″ thick. Cut into circles with a 2″ cookie cutter.
  5. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to fully cool.
  6. With an electric mixer, combine all the ingredients for the filling until it becomes thick and smooth.
  7. Using a spatula, scrape the cream into a plastic baggie. Make a slit in one corner and thickly distribute the cream in a circular motion onto one cookies. Gently sandwich another cookie on top.

 Gluten-Free Vegan Halloween Oreos

I also felt like these needed a special touch, you know, sometimes it’s comforting if your cookies look like they are store-bought. Is that a weird thing to say? Well, it’s how I feel so I bought a cookie pan that forms them into the shapes that you see. Made me feel a little better, thank you very much.

      Absolutely! It will just be a little more runny the moment it starts to get warm so just beware. Other than that, it’s a great sub Ell.

    You are a champ! Only 2 days after VeganMoFo ended and you are back in the kitchen. I needed a slightly bread and my kitchen needed a deep. My hat off to you! These look amazing (as usual!) LOVE Oreos, when I found out Oreos are vegan I knew I could commit. Bravo!

    yUMmy OMG Change one letter for Mummy. How appropriate. Speaking of which why can’t we get those Archaeologists to just keep their hands on the cookies rather than on the sarcophagi? I have a lot of questions non of which will fail to be satisfied by Halloween oreos Cara style. Also I need a spider cookie pan, stamp or something. Nap time. Bye.
