Oreo cookies



Homemade oreos are delicious. Enough said. Let's get down to it.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 375.  In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add in softened butter, mix, and add the eggs. Continue to mix until the dough comes together in a large mass. Take 1 inch sized dough balls, roll them and slightly flatten them before placing on baking sheet. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Place cookies onto cooling racks and let them cool completely before icing them.


Oreo filling

1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
1 8oz package of cream cheese (softened)
4 cups powdered sugar

Cream butter for 2 minutes. Add cream cheese and continue to mix for another minute. Slowly add in powdered sugar until it's well mixed.

To assemble cookies take 2 cookies that are equal in size. Spread a good amount of filling on one side and place the other cookie on top to make it a sandwich...easy enough right?
