Ode to the new little debbie treat

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I saw that Little Debbie has unveiled a new treat  – the fudge rounds with vanilla cream filling (the cream filling is similar to what i use in the oatmeal cream pie cookies).  So i decided to make my own version.  My favorite little debbie treats were always the oatmeal cream pies and cosmic brownies.  These new one treats look pretty good too.

I think i made these a little too big, so i just cut them in half after I made the sandwich cookies.  Next time, I may add a little more flour and instead of flattening the doughs a little, I may just leave them puffy mounds so perhaps they won’t spread as much and be so large!

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also freeze or chill the individual doughs before baking.  And when ready to bake, preheat your oven to 326 degrees. 

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cups
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Scoop out quarter cups of dough and form tall cylinders.   Freeze or chill in fridge for a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees.   Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 15 to 17  minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.   I placed mine in the fridge to help firm them up.

  • Cream filling
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup crisco
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbs heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar.  Add heavy cream and vanilla.  Add more powdered sugar if you want filling a little thicker.

Place one cookie, flatside up.

Top with filling.

Top with another cookie, flatside down.  

Store in covered container in fridge.

Bake 11 to 14 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.

  • 2 tbs vegetable oil

Stagger on cookie sheet.

Bake 11 to 13 minutes, no longer (edges will be browned.   Cool completely.

Black Cocoa Whoopie pies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

For the final nfl regular season weekend, I am providing 2 treats for tomorrow morning at ESPN Radio. These are black cocoa whoopie pies. Black cocoa is used in oreos, so these taste like soft oreos. And I made an oreo like filling too. Woo hoo.

A reminder to scoop your flour/baking cocoa/powdered sugar from your container into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also preheat your oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbs water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbs cornstarch

Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, water and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Scoop out 1.5 to 2 tbs dough (I used a cookie scoop) and stagger on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 11 minutes (no longer so they don’t dry out. Cool completely.

  • Filling mixture list
  • 1/4 cup crisco
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs water (or more)

Directions – in a bowl, blend ingredients well. Spread between 2 cookies.

Store in covered container. Thanks for stopping by today! I’m hoping my Bills have a playoff spot clinched before we kick off against the Dolphins Sunday night.
