Homemade Oreo Cookies recipe for anyone who loves OREOS! Our Homemade Oreos taste even better with the chocolaty cookies on the outside & buttery vanilla cream on the inside.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in salt, egg, and vanilla.
Add the cocoa powder, mix to combine.
Add the flour, a little at a time. Gather the dough, and knead it gently for 10 seconds.
Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Use a 2-inch diameter round cutter to cut shapes, then place on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies for about 9-12 minutes. Do not overcook. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, mix the butter until creamy and smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla.
Using a piping bag or a spoon, frost the bottoms of half the cookies, then sandwich with another cookie.
