Hello Kitty Oreos
It’s surprisingly easy to make Oreos at home. Yes, yes, why would you want to when you can get them for $1.99 at the market? Well…can you get SUPER KAWAII OREOS at the market?? I think not. That’s why I made Hello Kitty Oreos!! whee! (I know, why would anyone do this – I ask myself that all the time.)
I love Hello Kitty – I’ve made her as cupcakes, as pasta, as waffles, as MOFFLES, I’ve done it all. You can find homemade Oreo recipes all over the internet, here’s how I made mine:
ingredients (cookies):
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Valrhona cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 egg
ingredients (filling):
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment or silpats.
In a bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg until combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture, careful it will fly everywhere – until incorporated. You will get a nice dough that will pull away from the sides of the bowl. Chillax the dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes so that it’s easier to roll out.
I got this adddddorable Kitty head cutter years ago at a Sanrio store. Sadly, I think they discontinued them. But never fear, you can use this recipe with ANY cutter!
Roll out the dough to about 1/4″ thick. Use your cutter to cut out the shapes and transfer onto the silpat lined baking sheet.Perfection! Super Kawaii Fun Time Hello Kitty Oreos!
Bake for approx 9 minutes, depending on your oven – then place on a wire rack to cool.
Now on to the filling. Most homemade Oreo recipes call for shortening. NO. I despise shortening almost as much as cream cheese and you know how I feel about cream cheese. SO, instead I just use butter, through and through – and it came out perfectly fine.
In the bowl of an electric mixer on low, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until crumbly and combined. Once you don’t have stray powder-y sugar anywhere, go for it. Crank that baby up to number 6 and until you get a nice fluffy filling reminiscent of…hey, an Oreo!
Put the filling in a piping bag and pipe onto the backs of the cookies. Now you can spread it with a knife, but I am super obsessive and wanted that same blobby puffy side look that regular Oreos have. The piping bag will give you that look.
Pipe a dollop onto the back of a cookies, spread it a bit with an offset spatula, then press down on the filling with the top cookie.
There you have it. Your super over the top cute Oreo. So delicious. It wasn’t that hard, right? Ok fine. Stick with your boring old ROUND ones. You’re right it’d totally take less time…but it’d be HALF AS CUTE~!
I love hello kitty too. I will be making these. lol. My poor sons. XD
Fantastic Jenn! Once again, impressed as heck and adorable ensues!
these are way too cute … I will definitely be making these!
omg! so easy… i prepared mine
LOVE IT! Now where did you get the cookie cutter?
so great! I posted a link on my column (ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com)
thanks for sharing
I had no idea it was so easy to make oreos! And Hello Kitty ones are definitely better than store bought ones. Just last night I was thinking of breaking out my hello kitty waffle maker this weekend to make something cute with them.
wow, so cute, great job!….love love love hello kitty, my melody, twin stars, etc. Are you a big Kailan fan too?
So cute! I made inside-out Oreos (reverse fauxreos) with vanilla cookies and a ganache-type filling, and they were delicious. The cookie did not have that snap-crunch of Oreos, but I was surprised how good the flavor combination was. I’d like to try regular fauxreos as well.
These should be a limited edition batch.

Hehe what a clever save Jenn! They look fantastic!
Oh my goodness, KAWAII!!!! I love these! I’m going to have to hunt down a cutter. My girls would go nuts over these!
so very cute!
I really want a Hello Kitty cookie cutter now!
I MUST know where you got that cookie cutter. I’m trying to find a similar one online but can’t find the same shape.
i love hello kitty so easy to make i only had giant hello kitty cookie cutters so i had 8 giant ones. the filling was ok. the actual cookie part was delicious.
Love these! Now I just have to buy a cookie cutter…
I have visited your blog before. The more I visit, the more I keep coming back! ;~)
mmm!!!
ever since i saw this post earlier this year, i’ve been searching for those cookie cutters everywhere, and haven’t had any luck. Google keeps giving me a link to the Sanrio online shop, which doesn’t have them anymore. i’m so sad that they’ve been discontinued, and nowhere to be found on the internet. they’re the perfect size for these cookies!!
omg this is SUPER CUTE! where did you get that hello kitty cookie cutter from? I NEED IT!
these are too cute!
Very cute! Made these tonight with my Vader cookie cutter and they came out great, no need to re-press. I am sending them to work with my husband tomorrow, along with some matcha Yodas and Fetts. They will be doing a Christmas charity event for the Ronald McDonald House, so I thought I would contribute some snacks along with our toys. The cookies will go along well with the office decor, there are life-sized Star Wars statues all over the building as well as Star Wars Pinball and some other things. I think the chocolate cookies turned out better than the others, but maybe it was my fault as a first attempt.
Wow these are so cute! I wanna try, but I’m gonna use a bear/panda cookie cutter instead. I have a question though — can I use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer? I’m new to baking and don’t want to invest in a stand mixer just yet.
Ohhhh! Yes hello kitty oreos for me
Can I use regular Hershey’s cocoa powder or will not be dark enough?
@Eruiz
I’m not a fan of the flavor of Hershey’s cocoa, it is def not as dark or rich as Valrhona. I’m sure it’ll do in a pinch!
Each time I’ve made these the dough turns out coarse and crumbly
I don’t know if it’s the recipe or I have really bad luck!
It is the best time to make some plans for the longer term and it is time to be happy. I’ve learn this publish and if I may I wish to suggest you few interesting issues or advice. Perhaps you can write next articles regarding this article. I desire to read even more issues about it!
