Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
For the Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a mixer or food processor on low speed, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add butter a few pieces at a time.
- Add the egg and mix until a dough forms. Shape dough into a flat disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes until firm.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pinch off tablespoon-sized pieces of dough, rolling each into a smooth ball.
- Place balls on the baking tray 2 inches apart and flatten gently to ⅛ inch thick. Chill shaped cookies for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, rotating halfway, until set. Let cool completely.
- Create the filling. Beat butter and vanilla until smooth, then add powdered sugar and salt. Whip until light and fluffy.
- To serve, add 1 teaspoon of filling between two cookies, gently press to spread, and repeat. Enjoy fresh or store airtight for up to a week.
Notes
- Don’t skip the pre-bake chilling: No shortcuts here. Pre-bake chilling helps your cookies hold their shape and have that crunchy Oreo texture!
- Keep your work surface (and hands) floured: The flour will prevent your dough from sticking to everything and anything, making it easy to roll and shape. Only use a small amount. Too much flour can affect the cookies’ texture and cause them to become dry.
- Don’t overbake them: They’re meant to be a little soft, as they’ll harden up as they cool. Only overbake for a few minutes if you want an extra crunchy cookie.
