I just made a batch. I found that if I lay down plastic wrap another piece over top roll out when chilled, they are easier to pick up and maneuver to the cookie sheet. the left over dough I roll out rechill then cut out again. I also have put the cookie sheet in freezer for about 10 min, then used cookie press for design. thank you so much for the recipe!

Hi Ritz! I would probably just use regular vanilla extract if you don’t want to use clear vanilla flavor. It won’t have as much of the Oreo artificial flavor, but honestly that’s not a bad thing!

Hi! I’m super excited to make this but I’m trying to find an alternative for the “vanilla flavor”. What do you think about vanilla bean powder that’s white? I’ve never used it so I don’t know how similar the flavor is or how much would be an equivalent to the 1/2 teaspoon. Thanks!!!

These are so much fun to make! Tastes very similar to an Oreo but are much better because you made them! Using black cocoa was fun as I didn’t even know that was a thing. They are pretty easy to make as well. The only minor issue I ran into was when I cut my second batch of cookies out of the scraps from the first batch, I struggled to get the cookies off my mat and onto the baking sheet. The dough warmed up pretty quick, and I think I might have made them too thin, so watch for that. Overall, a 10/10 recipe! Thank you!!

Hi Jenna! The tricky thing is that this cookie was designed to make thinner, crispier cookies, much like an oreo. It would take some experimenting to get to what you are asking, but let me know how it goes if you do try it. 🙂

Hi! Any suggestions on cooking time if I wanted to make these cookies larger and soft rather than crispy? Kinda wanna do a giant “crumbl” style Oreo cookie 🙂

So I’m wondering… usually “shortening” means Crisco. Can I use refined coconut oil (no taste) instead?

Thanks for giving our recipe a try, Alan! The black cocoa really does make these taste like the real thing. Enjoy! ❤️

Excellent cookies! I never knew black cocoa existed. It was perfect for the taste. Thank you!

I appreciate your perspective. I left the dough in the fridge for a couple of days and then rolled it out and baked it with no problem. I’m sure it could have sat a few more days in the fridge. The first cookies I made were too large in circumference and thus didn’t bake up crispy in the time allotted, so I decided to use them for ice cream sandwiches. I made the next batch smaller (about 2 inches), and left them in the oven for about 14 minutes, and they came out beautifully crispy. This cookie recipe is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Now that Nabisco has discontinued its Famous Chocolate Wafers, there is no store-bought substitute, but your cookies have come to my rescue. I can always trust you to deliver the perfect recipe for my needs:).

Hi Louise! The dough should last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I haven’t personally tried freezing the dough, but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. 🙂

Hi, Sam. Would you let me know how long this cookie dough can last in the refrigerator and if it can be frozen? I ordered my black cocoa and am looking forward to making it, and sometimes I like to make dough ahead of time because I might not have time to bake it that day. Thanks so much!

Hi Sam
I made these adorable tiny cookies yesterday. We loved them. I used the dark cocoa powder, shortening and the clear vanilla to get the nice black and white contrast. The cookies were nice and crispy and delicious. I had a bit of trouble getting some of the cookies off the counter after rolling. But the misshapen cookies were easy to tap back into a circle and baked up just fine. I’ve already used the black cocoa in cupcakes and will look forward to experimenting with this new ingredient. Thanks for coming up with these different and interesting ideas to challenge my baking skills. Grandkids love the results too.

Hi Caryl! I haven’t tried it, but I think it could work. I would love to know how it goes if you do try it. 🙂

Would these work for an ice cream sandwich cookie? Looking for one that will stay crisp in the freezer.

Hi Laura! You could use it in my zebra cake or use it to make a black chocolate buttercream. I also have notes on how to substitute it below the recipe. 🙂

So before I buy black Cocoa what else can I use use black Cocoa in? Any suggestions? Thank you!
