Ingredients for Gluten Free Oreos

Blanched Almond Flour. Almond flour is made from finely ground blanched almonds, which results in a light and fluffy texture. Almond flour adds richness and density to the cookies while providing a gluten-free base.

Cocoa Powder. Cocoa powder is responsible for the chocolate flavor in the cookies. It adds a deep, rich taste and a dark color. Cocoa powder will help achieve the characteristic chocolatey flavor of Oreos.

Coconut Sugar. Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener derived from the sap of coconut palm trees. It has a caramel-like flavor and a lower glycemic index compared to refined white sugar. Using coconut sugar instead of regular sugar adds a touch of sweetness and balances the cocoa powder.

Salt. Salt is an essential ingredient that helps enhance the flavors in baked goods. It balances the sweetness and adds depth to the overall taste.

Butter. Butter provides moisture, richness, and a buttery flavor to the cookies. These fats contribute to the tender texture of the cookies and help bind the ingredients together.

Powdered Sugar. Powdered sugar is a good ingredient for the filling of homemade Oreos due to its smooth texture, sweetness, and binding capabilities that, when combined with the butter, help use achieve the classic vanilla filling of Oreos.

How to Make Gluten Free Oreos

Make the cookie dough:

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, egg, and coconut sugar together using an electric mixer or a whisk. Continue beating until the ingredients are well combined and creamy.

Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Continue folding until the ingredients are fully incorporated and a chocolate ball of dough forms.

Take the dough out of the bowl and place it between two pieces of parchment paper. This will make it easier to roll out the dough and prevent sticking. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 1/4 inch thick sheet. Make sure the dough is evenly rolled to maintain consistently thick sizes.

Chill the cookie dough

Slide a baking sheet or cutting board underneath the bottom parchment paper with the rolled dough. Transfer the dough, still sandwiched between the parchment paper, to the freezer. Allow it to chill for about 10 minutes. This will firm up the dough, making it easier to cut out the cookie shapes.

Cut the cookies

Remove the chilled dough from the freezer. Using a circular cookie cutter or a shot glass, cut out the desired size of cookies from the rolled dough. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.

Bake the cookies

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking. The cookies should be slightly firm to the touch. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet.

After a few minutes, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. This will allow them to firm up and reach room temperature before assembling them with the filling.

Prep the filling

To prepare the filling, use a handheld electric mixer to combine the powdered sugar and softened butter in a bowl. Continue mixing until the butter lightens in color and the filling comes together into a smooth and creamy consistency.

Assemble the Oreos

Transfer the filling to a plastic Ziploc baggie or a piping bag. Snip off a corner of the bag to create a small opening for piping.

Flip half of the cooled cookies over so that their flat side faces up. Pipe a generous amount of filling onto each of these cookies. You can be as generous with the filling as you like, or even go for a quadruple-stuffed effect.

Take the remaining cookies and place them flat side down onto the filling, gently pressing them together to create sandwich cookies.

Once assembled, store the homemade Oreos at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Make sure to place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness.

Tips for Success

Soften Butter Properly. Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before using it in the recipe. Softened butter combines better with other ingredients, resulting in a smoother dough and filling. Need to soften your butter quickly? Try this Kitchen Hack: How to Soften Butter in 10 Minutes!

Chill the Dough. Chilling the dough before rolling and cutting out the cookies helps firm it up, making it easier to handle and cut shapes without the dough sticking to the rolling pin or cookie cutter. The chilled dough also helps the cookies maintain their shape and prevent spreading during baking. If you’re having trouble working with the cookies, pop it back in the freezer for it to firm up.

Cool Completely Before Filling. Allow the baked cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before filling them. This ensures that the cookies are firm and won’t crumble when the filling is added. Cooling also prevents the filling from melting and becoming too soft.

Pipe or Spread the Filling. Use a piping bag or a spoon to add the filling to the cookies. If using a piping bag, snip off a small corner for a controlled flow of filling. Alternatively, you can spread the filling with a small spatula or the back of a spoon. Be generous with the filling, but make sure it’s evenly distributed for a balanced taste.

Sift your ingredients. Sifting your ingredients makes sure there are no lumps and make sure they are evenly incorporated into your batter.

Variations on these Gluten Free Oreos

Mint Oreos

Add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the filling mixture (and/or cookie dough) for a thin mint vibe. You can also add a drop or two of green food coloring to the filling to really hit the mint point home.

Peanut Butter Oreos

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter into the filling mixture. The combination of chocolate cookies and peanut butter filling is perfect for all the Reese’s lovers out there!

Espresso Oreos

Add 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the cookie dough for a subtle coffee flavor. This pairs well with the chocolate and adds a hint of richness.

Nutella Oreos

Replace all or a portion of the butter in the filling with Nutella for a hazelnut-chocolate twist.

Raspberry Oreos

Mix in 1-2 tablespoons of raspberry jam or preserves into the filling mixture to create a fruity and tangy flavor.

Salted Caramel Oreos

Drizzle or pipe a small amount of homemade salted caramel sauce onto the filling before sandwiching the cookies together. The sweet and salty combination creates a delightful contrast.
