Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda or Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter or Shortening (room temperature)
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream (adjust as needed for cream filling)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Cream Filling

  • 1/4 cup softened Butter
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine the dry ingredients including cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually add the dry mix, creating a smooth, chocolatey dough that’s ready to be shaped.
  2. Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small, even discs, about one inch thick. Place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes until they’re firm to the touch but not burnt. Let the cookies cool completely before adding the cream filling.
  4. Prepare the Cream Filling: Whip together softened butter, powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. This creamy center is what makes Cookies & Cream Oreo Cookies so addictively smooth and tasty.
  5. Assemble the Cookies: Spread or pipe the freshly whipped cream filling onto the bottom side of one cookie, then sandwich it with a second cookie. Press lightly to ensure even distribution of the filling, creating the perfect duo.

Notes

  • Chill the Dough: Refrigerating the dough before baking helps maintain the cookie’s shape and prevents spreading.
  • Use Quality Cocoa: High-quality cocoa powder enhances the richness of the chocolate flavor.
  • Don’t Overbake: Remove cookies just as they firm up to keep them crisp but not dry.
  • Room Temperature Butter: Ensures the cream filling becomes perfectly fluffy and smooth.
  • Customize Filling Sweetness: Adjust powdered sugar amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
