Equipment

  • 1 20-tin donut pan
  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 2 gallon size zip lock bags WITHOUT the "stand and fill" bottom
  • 2 large wire cooling racks

Ingredients
  

DONUTS:

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate cocoa
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp. chocolate extract
  • 3 tbsp. melted butter
  • 12 Oreo cookies crushed

CREAM CHEESE ICING:

  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp. salted butter softened
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (I would increase to 1 1/2 cups, or more if desired)
  • 2 tbsp. half-and-half
  • 6 Oreo cookies crushed

Instructions
 

DONUTS:

  • Combine cocoa, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, half-and-half, sour cream, chocolate extract and melted butter.
  • Place Oreos in a zip lock bag WITHOUT the "stand and fill" bottom and crush with a rolling pin; set aside.
  • Combine dry mixture with wet mixture and crushed Oreos, just until mixed.
  • Do not over-mix the batter.
  • This is a very thick batter.
  • Spoon mixture into another Ziplock bag (WITHOUT the "stand and fill" bottom") and cut off the corner.
  • Pipe the donut mixture into greased donut pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes.
  • Check with a toothpick for doneness.
  • Do not over-bake or donuts will become tough.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Cool in donut pan about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to ice donuts.

CREAM CHEESE ICING:

  • Combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar and half-and-half in a mixing bowl.
  • See my note above about increasing the powdered sugar.
  • Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Spread frosting over top of donuts.
  • Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over top of donuts.

Notes

NOTE: This is a very thick batter. You may find it easier to spoon the donut dough into prepared donut tins.
 
NOTE: You cannot use the "stand and fill" expandable bottom Zip Lock bags for this recipe. You will end up with a mess on your hands.
 
NOTE: This is a thin icing. If you want the icing to set up better and harden, add about ½ cup powdered sugar to the mixing bowl when mixing.
 
NOTE: Refrigerate leftovers.
