Oreo Cookies ~ 奥利奥曲奇

Here I am taking or rather using a very popular cookie to put inside a cookie.  Believe me, this cookie was a crowd pleaser amongst kids at a recent small gathering.  This cookie is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside and ready to tuck in after about 10 mins. baking time but of course needs a bit of patience to wait a little while longer for the cookie to cool further.  Can give this a try for the coming Chinese New Year which falls on 10th February 2024!




Oreo Cookies ~  奥利奥曲奇                                       

Ingredients

  • 115 gm vegetable oil OR melted butter (I used oil)
  • 80 gm caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 185 gm plain flour
  • 1/2 teasp baking soda
  • 1/4 teasp salt
  • 9 Oreo cookies, with cream, crushed (110 gm)
  • 1/4 teasp vanilla
Method
  1. Sift flour with baking soda, salt, set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, with a hand whisk, beat oil and caster sugar till creamy.
  3. Break in an egg, beat till well incorporated.
  4. Fold in sifted flour, mix well with a spatula.
  5. Mix in the crushed Oreos thoroughly.
  6. Cover the mixing bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 mins.
  7. Remove from the fridge, use an ice-cream scoop to scoop up some dough, roll into a ball and place about 2.5 inch apart on a parchment lined baking tray.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for about 10 mins. when the edges are slightly brown if you want the cookies to be slightly chewy.  If you want crunchy cookies, bake a bit longer, say about another 5 mins. or so.
  9. Yield :  12 cookies, depending on size of your cookies.
Here's wishing each and everyone, a very Peaceful, Healthy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
