Gluten-Free Egg-Free Mickey Mouse Oreo Cookie Recipe

Hi Again!

Our household has recently gone gluten-free, as many family members are experiencing health issues. So, we’re testing the diet out.

To make matters a bit more complex, Miss V is also allergic to egg. So the recipe below is easily vegan. I also used a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter, but just about any cookie cutter will work. (This one came from the awesome #DisneySide @ Home Celebration Kit which came for free)

Chocolate Cookie-
3/4 Cup All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour (I use Namaste brand, it’s about $8 for 5lbs at Costco)
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
2/3 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/3 Cup Butter or Margarine
3 Tablespoons Oil
1 Tsp Vanilla
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Water

Yield: About 6 Sandwich Cookies

First, cream the butter or margarine with sugar, oil, vanilla, and water.

In a separate bowl combine all other dry ingredients.

Wisk together both bowls. It should look something like this-

Next, line a cutting board with parchment paper, and roll out the cookie dough. This isn’t going to be easy. But, the more you work the dough, it becomes a bit more pliable.

You’ll want to roll it out to somewhere close to 1/4 inch.

Next, cover the cutting board with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least a few hours.

From here we can work on the filling. I used a marshmallow fondant. The recipe can be found at About.com

You’ll need 4 cups of both mini-marshmallows and powdered sugar. Although I had plenty leftover.

I rolled the fondant to about 1/4 inch, but a little thinner would probably work better. From here, use the cookie cutter and cut out the number of desired shapes.

Once the cookie dough has had a chance to refrigerate for a few hours, very carefully cut out the shapes and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Then, as you are placing on the cooling rack, sandwich the cookies and fondant. This lets the fondant stick to the cookies.

Viola!

Hope you enjoyed this recipe!
