Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for the filling)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for the filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough will be thick.

Step 6

Scoop out 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Flatten each dough ball slightly using the back of a spoon or your hand to form discs.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will appear soft but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 10

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling by beating the softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

To assemble the Oreos, spread about 1-2 teaspoons of the filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with a second cookie, flat side down, and press gently to sandwich the filling.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
