Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (for filling, softened)
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be thick.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create a disc shape.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the filling, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Spoon or pipe the filling onto the flat side of half of the cooled cookies. Top each with another cookie to create a sandwich.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade soft Oreo cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
