Homemade Oreos

 I enjoy a good challenge of re-creating mainstream foods with whole natural ingredients. My entire home smelled of chocolaty goodness when I finished these homemade Oreos and very excited to share this recipe with you! *And these won't cause the same stuck in your teeth for hours feeling that store bought Oreos produce.

Ingredients:
¼ cup tapioca flour
¼ cup cacao powder
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup ghee or organic butter
1 Tbsp. organic coconut milk
2 Tbsp. non-alcoholic vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. Coconut Nectar (adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking)
2 Tbsp. cold water

Middle Gooey Cream:
1/2 cup coconut butter, room temperature*
1 Tbsp. non-alcoholic vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. cold water

Directions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a bowl, mix together the coconut flour, tapioca flour, and cacao powder.
   
3. In a different bowl, mix the ghee/butter, coconut milk, vanilla extract and coconut nectar.
   
4. Add wet mixture into the flour bowl and stir together until combined. When mostly mixed together, add the 2 Tbsp. of cold water and continue to mix together until a firm dough forms. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
   
5. Spread a piece of parchment paper on top of a baking pan.
6. With your hands, roll about 2 TBSP. worth of batter into a ball and then press the ball into the pan and create a small flat circle.
   
7. Bake at 350°F for about 11 minutes.
   
8. While cookies are baking, add all the cream filling ingredients to a bowl and mix together.
   
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let the cookies completely cool.
10. Once the cookies are cooled, place about 1 TBSP. of the cream filling in the center of one cookie and top it with another cookie.
11. Store in the fridge and enjoy as a pleasurable treat!
