In the past couple of years, I have seen a lot of marbled cakes popping up in the baking world. I have even done a few myself - like this Purple Marble Cake or this Blue Marble Cake. It's pretty easy technique to master, and let's be honest, it looks really really cool. But why stop at cakes?
Last week, I decided it was time to go beyond the marbled cake, and take on America's favorite cookie - The Oreo. The result was pretty great. There are not many things in this world that can beat a good old fashioned Oreo - but I think these marbled ones come pretty close.
I also did my first Periscope Broadcast (which is a LIVE video feed) demonstrating how I did this. I'm not going to lie...I was so nervous and sweating the entire time. I am terrified of being in front of the camera (I am much more comfortable behind it), but sometimes you gotta get out of your comfort zone. And guess what...I made it through! You can check it out below.

I am going to start trying to do more Periscope Broadcasts, so if you don't have the app, you should definetly check it out. It's pretty cool!
*Makes 20 Oreos

I had a problem with making the chocolate deep enough to get half the cookie in my bowl. I ended up using all the chocolate just to make it deep enough, so it all turned pink toward the end and I didn't have any left over. How did you get around this with the amount of chocolate the recipe calls for? I even used 1/2 lb.
Hi Kai! I am so sorry you had problems with this! The trick is, you need a small but deep bowl for these guys. The one I use is 2.5" high and 3.5" wide at the rim. This way you do not use all the white chocolate at once, but still have enough to get that half dip. Does this make sense? And I usually get my bowls from Ikea!
If I wanted to coat the entire cookie in chocolate, how would you suggest doing that? I imagine it would be difficult to do so when you don't have anywhere to hold onto with your fingers! Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
Hi Mary! There are a few ways you can do it. Here is a video I found that gives you some great suggestions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-kETjwmgqk I hope that helps, but let me know if you have any further questions!
Fav part is that the ingredients calls for 20 Oreos and yet it only produces 16. Obviously at least 4 get eaten in process.
Amazing call! That is EXACTLY what happens! <3
These are really pretty and I want to make them for a shower! how far in advance do you think I can make them? Does freezing them make sense?
You can totally freeze them! You can make them a few weeks in advance and freeze them and they will be fine.
So I didn't read it before settling in to attempt and had gel food coloring. They have some minimal lumpiness. Lol! The next batch was done with both white and purple melting chocolate marbled, since I didn't have the correct food coloring. I think it worked!
Using colorful melting chocolate is a great idea!
gorgeous!! ... does Michaels or Hobby Lobby sell the MELTING CHOCOLATE and the Choc Coloring?
Yes! They both should have them!
Love the look!
I made these with one color, blue, and it still came out looking like many shade of blue! Very pretty.
Its a good idea to work with small batches of chocolate, since the die will eventually turn your white chocolate into whatever color you are using
Hi Hannah! So glad you had success with this recipe! Your suggestion is also a great tip. Working with a small amount of chocolate at a time is ideal for these Oreos.
These are the most beautiful cookies ever xx
Thanks Jen!
This is darling! Do you think you could use gel food coloring?
If the gel food coloring is water based, it will not work. It will cause the chocolate to seize up and harden. Hope that helps! We don't want you ruining perfectly good chocolate.
Do you have a certain type of chocolate you use?
Never mind :) just saw the comment in the ingredients list
I love your picture peeking at the cake
