These Oreo-inspired cocoa sandwich cookies are crisp, deeply chocolatey, and filled with a smooth vanilla cream that makes every bite feel nostalgic and satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into small rounds using a cookie cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set and slightly crisp.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a rack.
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth to make the filling.
- Spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Chill the dough for about 20 minutes if it feels too soft to roll.
- Roll the dough evenly so the cookies bake at the same rate.
- Let the cookies cool fully before filling so the cream stays thick and smooth.
- Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
