HOT TIP: when boycotting, try dupe recipes at home to share with friends. Sometimes there isn't a local alternative brand available but there is always someone with a recipe blog on the internet. I can still have doublestuffed mint chocolate sandwich cookies without funding the capitalist machine crushing my American friends ☺️
This recipe I used 1 cup butter substitute (i used a canola spread) 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup cocoa powder (i use trade aid or donovans) ½ cup golden syrup 1 teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix in a food processor then set in the fridge for 25 minutes
Filling: ½ cup vegetable shortening 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup flour Mint extract to taste
Or just do a small spoonful of peanutbutter as a filling
Roll out the dough to about 5mm thickness. Stamp and cut.
My oven is a joke so not sure the temp but i turn it on and bake for about 8-10 minutes. It will be a low temperature, probably like 170c. They are still soft when i pull them out so I let them sit on the pan to cool before filling and stacking
You should cease eating them over their inclusion of GMO ingredients alone, but that is just my opinion.
and even if you don't think GMOs are an issue, Oreos are made with palm oil linked to rainforest destruction and human rights abuses.
There is no ethical consumption, but I don't think I can convince my wife to give up Oreos... Hmm.
I'd better not risk it.
These are honestly really really good. Like a fudgier oreo
Hmm. I'll share the recipe 💛
