Chocolate Vanilla Cream Biscuits | Homemade Oreo Biscuits

Step wise picture recipe for super easy and insanely delicious Chocolate Vanilla Cream Biscuits aka Homemade Oreo Biscuits! The biscuits are crispy, crunchy and melt-in-mouth chocolaty with a delicious Vanilla buttercream filling.

It has been my long time dream to make cream biscuits at home and recently tried my hands at making home-style Oreo biscuits, which the husband was quick to say Chocolate Vanilla Cream Biscuits. My initial plan was to make chocolate cookies, as I have craving for a chocolaty treat and as it usually happens, I kept changing the recipe I had in mind and eventually decided to do vanilla cream filled chocolate sandwich cookies.

My love for cream biscuits goes back to my childhood days. Out of everything, I loved two things – Milk Cream biscuits and Bourbon biscuits. There is a peculiar joy in splitting open the cookie, licking the cream and then eating the biscuits. The Oreo addiction happened only a few years back when it was introduced in India and given a choice, I would still go for Bourbon or milk cream.

This is an eggless recipe for Chocolate Vanilla Cream biscuits. I have used as little butter as needed to make these homestyle eggless oreo biscuits and they are deliciously chocolaty. They have a crunch to them and are mildly sweet. That’s why having a rich vanilla butter cream filling works like a magic.

My Vanilla Buttercream filling is very basic and obviously I didn’t fill every cookie with this. As I wanted to have my chocolate indulgence without too much guilt, saved half of them as it is and they are stored well in the fridge. Contrary to what I expected, the husband loved the cream filled chocolate biscuits and couldn’t stop with one or two at a time. Next time, I am going to make these decadent by filling with chocolate cream. If this excites you, do check out the other eggless bakes from this blog!
