Homemade Oreo Cookies
Make your own version of this favorite cookie with buttery dark chocolate wafers and creamy vanilla filling
Ingredients
The Cookies
- 2 cups flour
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
The Filling
- 3 oz. salted butter
- 6 oz. confectioners sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cocoa and baking soda. Slowly beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well combined. Form the dough into 2 small disks and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Make the filling – in a stand mixer, beat the butter until fluffy. Add the confectioner’s sugar and beat until combined. Beat in the vanilla until creamy.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough onto a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the cookies and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a cookie stamp or fork to make designs in the cookies by lightly pressing down so that you don’t flatten them too much. Bake 12-14 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before assembling. To assemble, pipe frosting in a circle on the inside of one cookie. Fill in the circle with additional frosting. Gently press another cookie down onto the filling until a sandwich is formed.
