These cookies look a little like Oreos or possibly moon pies. They’re more like Oreos in flavor, only a bit softer and they don’t have that weird chemical burn Oreos can have – they taste of chocolate cookies and creamy filling.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

How To Make chocolate sandwich cookies

  • Step 1
    Cream together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  • Step 2
    Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt all at once. Mix until just well combined.
  • Step 3
    Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a 1 inch diameter roll and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper. You may need to refrigerate it a while to make it easier to shape.
  • Step 4
    Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight until it’s firm enough to slice. Heat oven to 375.
  • Step 5
    Slice rolls 1/8 inch thick and place slices about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. They’ll spread a little more than you may expect – don’t place them too close together.
  • Step 6
    Bake 8-10 minutes at 375. Remove cookies from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Step 7
    For filling, beat together all ingredients until uniform.
  • Step 8
    Make sandwiches of the cookies, either by spreading a bit of filling on the bottom of one cookie then sticking it to the bottom of another or by squishing a small marble size ball of filling between the two.
  • Step 9
    Store the cookies covered in the fridge, since the creamy filling contains butter and is perishable.
