About

Everyone loves Oreos, but this homemade version is so much better. The wafer cookies have a deep, rich chocolate flavor, and when sandwiched with the sweet vanilla filling, they create a heavenly experience. I also like to stuff the cookies with fresh strawberry ice cream to make mini ice cream sandwiches, but any ice cream will work.

Ingredients

1⅓ cups unbleached (all-purpose) flour
1 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted
2¼

Method

Line two cookie sheets with parchment.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer), cream together the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bottom and
