Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 65 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 180 grams Powdered sugar (for filling)
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Whole milk (optional, for filling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well-combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are firm around the edges. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the cookies cool, make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar until light and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and (if desired) the milk, and continue to mix until smooth.

Step 9

Transfer the filling to a piping bag with a round tip or use a small spatula to spread about 1 teaspoon of filling onto the flat side of one cookie.

Step 10

Top with another cookie, flat side down, and gently press together to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Step 11

Store the homemade Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for longer freshness. Enjoy!
