Directions

Make the Cookie Dough:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

4. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft but firm enough to scoop and shape.

6. Chill the dough (optional): If the dough is too soft, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Shape and Bake the Cookies:

7. Form the dough balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Flatten the dough: Gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to slightly flatten them. This will help them bake evenly and create a nice sandwich cookie shape.

9. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so be careful not to overbake them.

10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Oreo Frosting:

11. Prepare the frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the Oreo cookie crumbs, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add more heavy cream if the frosting is too thick to spread.

Assemble the Sandwich Cookies:

12. Frost the cookies: Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous amount of Oreo frosting on the bottom side of one cookie. Place another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Press gently to spread the frosting evenly.

13. Repeat: Continue assembling the cookies until all the cookies are paired with frosting.

Serve:

14. Enjoy: Once assembled, serve these delicious Oreo Sandwich Cookies and enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness of every bite!

FAQs

Can I use store-bought Oreos for the filling?

Yes, you can use store-bought Oreo filling or just crush the cookies and mix them with butter and powdered sugar for the frosting. However, making the homemade Oreo frosting provides the best flavor and texture.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days before baking. The cookies can also be assembled in advance and stored in an airtight container.

Can I add other flavorings to the frosting?

Yes, you can add different flavorings to the frosting, such as almond extract or a touch of cinnamon, to change up the flavor profile of the filling.

Can I use other types of chocolate for the cookie dough?

Yes, you can substitute cocoa powder with melted dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a richer flavor, but this might slightly alter the texture of the cookie dough.

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

Chill the dough before baking if you’re worried about spreading. This will help the dough firm up and result in thicker, chewier cookies.
