Are you one of those people that have a hard time resisting eating an entire sleeve of the Oreo Cookies when they are in the house?  {Me too!!!} 

Do you save the crunchy, chocolate cookie outside for last or do you lick all the frosting out of the middle first? I'm guilty of eating the middle first, pretty much every time I go on an Oreo binge. (Don't judge me, I'm only human.) 

Did you know Oreo has become the best selling cookie in the United States since its introduction in 1912?  

Since Valentine's day is coming up, I had an overwhelming, hankering to even bake some Chocolate Sugar 'Cut-Out' Cookies.  Especially after I made these delicious Soft Buttermilk {Cutout} Cookies & Icing. (Also to commemorate Valentine's Day!)  

Oreos are such a popular after-school snack idea and perfect for any holiday or occasion.  Bake up these little chocolate sandwich cookies and cuteness overload will take over and you and everyone else who is tempted by the 'Oreos'.  

You know, the special home-made Oreo cookies made from the 'heart' makes everyone smile, no matter what age and that's very special!  He (or she) loves me, he (she) loves me not...that is the question!    So what are you baking up for Valentine's Day?

Ingredients

  

Oreo Sandwich Cookies

• 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Hint: Use cocoa powder for rolling/cutting cookies instead of flour so you don't have any white marks on your cookies!

Oreo Filling

• ¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature
• ¼ cup shortening
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar sifted
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

 

Oreo Sandwich Cookies

• Preheat oven to 350 and prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Cream the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed about a minute. Do not over beat, as this will incorporate air into the dough, which leads to spreading.
• Add the egg and vanilla and mix just until incorporated.
• Sift your flour, cocoa powder and salt together, add to wet mixture and mix on low speed for about an half a minute. (Again, make sure you do not over-mix the cookie dough.)
• Roll the dough between 2 lightly cocoa powder - floured sheets of parchment paper, a thickness of ⅛ to ¼ inch.
• Put cookie dough shapes back into the fridge for 10 minutes to 1 hour to chill again. They will then hold their shape better when baked.
• Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the center of the cookie no longer looks wet. The baking time will depend on the size of your cookie.
• Cool completely before decorating or filling.

Oreo Filling

• Once the cookies are baked and cooled, begin to prepare the filling.
• Using a mixer, cream butter and shortening until fluffy.
• Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla. (Mixture will be stiff.)
• Once incorporated, transfer mixture into a piping bag and fill one side of the cookie however thick you want it and add another cookie to the filling and voila! Oreo Cookies!!!!
• You can freeze the extra filling for later use using a freezer bag. Bring to room temperature naturally when when ready to use. Or save it up to 30 days in fridge sealed.

Notes

Remember, if you want a crisp Oreo cookie, the longer you bake it, the more crispy it will be, depending on the size of the cookies you are cutting out. These here are small, so I baked them for 12 minutes and they were ¼ inch thick. For normal sized cookies, bake 15 minutes.
Also, if you only want to use half of the cookie dough, you can refrigerate the remainder for up to a week.
