I got a big kick out of this. I worked in a cookie factory for thirty years and I was the creamer on the Oreo line. They mixed it upstairs in the mixing room, dropped the dough down the hopper to the bake shop where they rolled it out in a temperature controlled area and sent massive belts of rolled, cut and baked cookies down the line. It was a twenty minute journey through the oven at a graduated temperature setting, then another ten minutes from the oven to the creamer, me. I ran the machine that put the cream on each cookie. The weights of the creamed biscuits were checked on the regular. Sometimes when the cream was too dry, the tops would fall off. It was a hassle. But it was a really fun job. I have since retired. Yours looked good. The biscuit colour was perfect. They just needed to be a little thinner. You were right not to flour that dough up because it would have made a mess of that dough. Sometimes flour would get on ours, and we had to throw those out. They went to pig food. Love the rolling pin. ❤️

I never thought of making goldfish. My daughter is lactose intolerant and I can make this with lactose free cheese! She is so excited. She loves goldfish

If the Oreo dough ever became sticky when you roll it out, you can simply use a dusting of the black cocoa powder instead of flour to prevent sticking.

I love seeing Irbit and Tibro laying on the floor bext to the oven together! So sweet

The Bosch is incredible! Family of 8 here. Could not be without it. Can make 250 cookies at one time. Make base dough, then divide and put different flavors in. Best part is the lid, no mess like the kitchen aid!

My daughter makes oreo cookies. She shapes the dough into a log, refrigerates the dough then cuts thin discs for the cookie. They turn out just right. You might try that method next time.

I've had both Kitchen Aid 6 Qt and Bosch Mixers while raising a large family. The Kitchen Aid motor would bog down whenever making large quantities of dough for breads. The Bosch never had any issues. I've had both machines for more than 20 years, used nearly every week, and they're still going strong. I love the Kitchen Aid for doubling recipes, the Bosch for tripling or more. You inspire us to try new things; love your channel!

Hi! I made Oreos over the weekend and they're a huge hit! One modification that I made was to roll out the filing and cut it to the same size as the cookies. I'm not going to mention that I doubled the filing and made them double stuffed. 😉

Hi Becky! If you whip the butter for 7 to 10 minutes before you add the other ingredients, the yellow almost disappears and makes a really fluffy buttercream 😊

I appreciate all your little commentary that you edited in. Those little tidbits are super helpful. Those are the kinds of things that help make a recipe real.

I tried to make homemade goldfish and oreos maaaany moons ago - yours look 1000x better! You make me want to make everything from scratch. lol

My husband knows it’s you when I casually say “Becky says…” 😂 I know KA mixers are wonderful but they’ll never outrun a Bosch! I bake in huge quantities all the time for my family and the Bosch is still a workhorse after 10 years. I LOVE IT! 🍞🥖🥨

You can always freeze any dough that you don't want to prepare; it freezes beautifully too! Once the cookies come out of the oven, take another sheet tray and place on top of the cookies pressing gently. This will flatten them out and press some of the air out of them. I do this with my custom cookies to so they are flat.

I had the Kitchenaid mixer. when it finally stopped working after 20+ years I bought a Bosch. I love my Bosch. It can handle large batches. Adding ingredients is much easier because you aren’t trying to maneuver around the motor casing and beater. You can also buy different attachments for the Bosch such as the food processor. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the recipe. I can’t wait to make these with my daughters.

It’s funny going back and watching this because this was the first video I ever saw of yours on my main page months ago and it got me hooked. Now I’m rewatching everything from the beginning. I had already done from a year to current but you were a natural delight from the beginning.

I’m a loyal KitchenAid owner! Bought my mixer in 1988 still going strong. I owned a tea business, made literally thousands of scones….plus any tea related recipe you could imagine. She never let me down!

[maryjohudson]

When our children were at home, I got a Bosch mixer so I could make dough for 6 loaves of bread at a time. I LOVE my Bosch! I have never had a Kitchen Aide but I have always been troubled by the challenge of getting ingredients into the bowl without contaminating the mixer head. The Bosch bowl is like a donut with the 'hole' of the donut the center spoke on which the attachments sit. Getting ingredients into the bowl is much easier. It is relatively easy to store the mixer under the counter as well. The height of the Kitchen Aide makes that unlikely in most kitchens. I've had my Bosch for nearly 30 years and I would not exchange it for another brand.

[madzabinga]

Yes to a Bosch! They are the ultimate kitchen work horse. You can mix up 5-6 loaves of bread per batch. You can also do a double or triple batch of cookie dough. They even have separate dough whisks for cookie dough. They are the BEST dough mixer around. My Mom has had hers for nearly 40 years. She had to replace the dough whisk once, and the bowl once because the whisk broke, and scraped pieces of plastic off the bowl.

[luellscott]

Bosch hands down! I bought mine 40 years ago and I’ve never had issues with multiple batches of cookies, not to mention that I fed my family on home made WW bread all their life. Mix it together and it kneads it Better than hand kneading, 10 min and it’s ready to rise. Again, Bosch, hands down!
Really enjoying your channel!

Hi Becky! I absolutely love watching you! For the amount of baking you do, you might consider a large food grade silicone pastry mat. They are non-slip so your parchment paper will easily stay in place and they're so easy to clean up.🙂
