Okay, here’s my attempt at writing a blog post in the style you requested, about making creme sandwich cookies:
So, I decided to try and make those creme sandwich cookies, you know, the ones that are like Oreos but, well, homemade. I’d never made them before, thought it would be a fun little project. I grabbed a recipe from that internet, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a ride.
Gathering the Stuff
First, I had to get all the ingredients together. You know, the usual suspects: flour, sugar, butter, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, vanilla extract, and for the filling, powdered sugar, more butter, and some milk. I swear, half the battle is just making sure you have everything before you start, it makes a big mess!
Mixing the Dough
I dumped all the dry ingredients for the cookies into a big bowl – flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Gave it a good whisk to make sure everything was, like, evenly distributed. You don’t want pockets of baking soda, trust me. Then, in a separate bowl, I creamed together the butter and sugar until it was all fluffy. Cracked in the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each one. Poured in the vanilla. Finally, I gradually added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until it all came together into a nice, dark dough.
Rolling and Cutting
This part was kinda messy. I floured my countertop and my rolling pin, then plopped the dough down. Rolled it out until it was pretty thin, I was going to cut circles that I needed. I used a round cookie cutter to stamp out the cookies. If you don’t have a cookie-cutter, to use a glass or something.
Baking Time
I preheated my oven, of course. I arranged the cookie cutouts on a baking sheet lined and popped them in the oven. They only needed to bake for a short amount of time, and keep a good eye on them so they don’t burn. Gotta let those cool down completely.
Whipping Up the Filling
While the cookies were cooling, I made the creme filling. This was super easy. I just beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk until it was light and fluffy. You can add a little vanilla extract here too, if you want.
Assembly!
Finally, the fun part! I took one cookie, spread a generous amount of filling on it, and then sandwiched it with another cookie. Boom! Homemade creme sandwich cookies. I repeated and repeated and repeated, until I used up the cookies and filling.
The Verdict
Were they perfect? Well, not really.
Some were a little uneven, the filling squished out the sides on a few, but, the cookies were a great experience for me.
