Equipment
- Fork, & Spatula
- Rolling Pin or bottle or a glass
- Cookie Cutter or glass
Ingredients
- 240 g Plain Wholemeal Flour (2 cups)
- 30 g Cocoa Powder (¼ cup)
- Pinch of Salt
- 100 g Liquid Sweetener (¼ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 45 g Coconut Oil melted (3 tbsp)
- Warm Water (add as needed)
Filling
- 100 g Cream Cheese (½ cup)
- 40 g Liquid Sweetener (2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the melted coconut oil and liquid sweetener to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out each part between two sheets of parchment paper to about 3-5mm thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out cookies from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing the softened cream cheese with the liquid sweetener until smooth.
- Once the cookies are cooled, spread a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling onto the bottom side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
- Store the assembled Healthy Oreos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes
- Chill the Dough: Before rolling out the dough, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking, resulting in perfectly shaped Oreos.
- Use Parchment Paper: When rolling out the dough, place it between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking. This also makes cleanup easier and allows for smoother rolling.
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese for the filling is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the sweetener. This ensures a smooth and creamy consistency for the filling.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they're baking. They should be slightly soft when removed from the oven as they will firm up as they cool. Over-baking can result in dry cookies.
- Customize the Filling: Get creative with the cream cheese filling by adding flavors like vanilla extract or almond extract. You can also adjust the sweetness to your preference by varying the amount of liquid sweetener.
- Store Properly: Store the assembled Oreos in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the filling fresh. If storing at room temperature, consume within a day or two for the best taste and texture.
- Enjoy Fresh or Frozen: These Oreos can be enjoyed fresh or frozen. Freeze any leftovers for longer storage and thaw in the refrigerator before serving for a tasty treat anytime.
