Before you start
Preheat oven to 200°C | Large mixing bowl | Sieve | Floured work surface | 3 inch circular cookie cutter | Baking tray lined with parchment paper
First, make the choc chip shortbread dough
- Cut the chocolate into small (roughly 1/4 cm) pieces
- Put the dairy free butter and caster sugar into a mixing bowl and beat together with a wooden spoon
- Sift the flour into the bowl
- Add the vanilla extract and chocolate pieces to the bowl and fold everything together until you have a nice dough
Now, prep the cookies
- Split the dough into two pieces and put one piece on the floured work surface
- Roll the dough so it's an even 5mm thick
- Cut out as many cookies as you can with the cookie cutter
- Re-roll the dough and cut out some more cookies (you need 10 in total)
- Put the cookies on a baking tray, making sure there's a gap around each cookie
- Lightly push one Oreo into the centre of each shortbread cookie Re-flour the work surface
- Roll the remaining cookie dough out on the surface and cut it into 10 cookies
- Place the freshly rolled shortbread cookies on top of the Oreo-topped shortbread cookies laid out on the baking sheet
- Gently push the edges of the top shortbread cookie down onto the bottom shortbread cookie, neatly encasing the Oreo cookies
Remove the cookies from the oven
- Let them cool to room temperature
- Put them in an airtight container and consume within 3 days
- These cookies are a treat - we highly recommend that you don't eat all the cookies yourself because of the high sugar and fat content - share them with your friends!
