Find the specific recipe and complete ingredients at the bottom of the page.
Variations
- We used traditional Oreo cookies. Feel free to use any flavor you prefer.
Just note the darker Oreos result in a deeper gold tone after sprayed. The lighter colors don’t have enough contrast once sprayed.
- While this is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, try also using them for pirate-themed parties.
- Use Oreo thins for a thinner coin. This is optional and based on preference.
- Try adding gold sprinkles for even more gold luster dust on the cookies.
- Mini Oreos. For a bite-size treat, try using a mini Oreo sandwich cookie.
How to make Edible Gold Oreo Coins
Step 1. First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Then place the Oreos on the baking sheet.
Step 2. Next, gently shake the can of metallic gold. Then spray the top of the Oreos. Let the Oreo cookies dry completely and then flip them over and spray the other side of the Oreos with edible spray. Allow the gold edible shimmer spray to dry.
FAQs
Place the cookies inside an airtight container or bag. You can keep them at room temperature.
They will last as long as the expiration date on the package of cookies. The gold spray does not shorten their expiration. It just adds a festive touch.
Pro Tips
- Shake the can gently before using the gold spray.
- Try to hold the spray can about 6 inches from the cookies and hold at a 45-degree angle.
- Apply thin even coats. Applying the spray too thickly can prolong dry times.
- Give the cookies ample time to dry before flipping to the other side. Turning them too early could smudge the cookies and cause them to stick.
- If you prefer more coverage, you can spray each side twice. Just give each coat time to dry.
- Keep in mind one can of gold spray covers about 48 cookies. This will vary based on how many coats you use.
