🧾 Ingredients
🍪 For the Chocolate Cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

🧁 For the Vanilla Cream Filling:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk or cream (adjust for texture)
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Step 2: Add Egg and Vanilla
Instructions: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
Instructions: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Instructions: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Step 5: Roll Out the Dough
Instructions: Divide dough in half. Roll each half between two pieces of parchment paper until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 6: Chill the Dough
Instructions: Transfer the rolled-out dough (with parchment) to the fridge. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Step 7: Cut Out Cookie Circles
Instructions: Once firm, use a 1.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes. Let them cool completely.
Step 9: Make the Cream Filling
Instructions: In a bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
Step 10: Assemble the Oreos
Instructions:
- Pipe or spoon filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
- Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Press gently.
Step 11: Let Them Set
Instructions: Allow assembled cookies to set at room temperature for 15 minutes so the cream firms up.
