minty oreos just scream christmas! to make these, i used my chocolate wafer recipe which you can find by clicking on
this link.
for fun, i pressed each cookie with a cookie stamp so that they would be a little fancier. to fill them, i used
this recipe from wayne harley brachman's book retro desserts. since i did not use that chocolate wafer recipe, i cannot comment on it but the filling recipe worked out very nicely and was pretty close to the real thing. one thing to keep in mind, the moisture content in butter will cause the cookies to soften a bit after a couple days. this did not bother me but for those of you expecting a really crispy cookie sandwich, they are best filled the day you will serve them.
to make the pattern on the cookies, i pulled this set of glass cookie stamps out of the drawer. they were given to me more than 20 years ago and were purchased in williams sonoma. they no longer sell this set but if you do an internet search, they will come up on various sites as "vintage" and are not terribly expensive.
