I found this recipe on the Cupcake Project website. Apparently they are considered "Retro" ...whatever. I'm not going to lie to you though, and tell you they taste just like an oreo, cause they don't. But in their defense, they are so much better than the cake mix knock offs that are filled with frosting from the tub. Course those aren't hard to beat. Sorry Betty Crocker. These are just as easy and worthy of a try. Got milk?
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbl. butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Beat in the butter and the egg. Continue mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
3. Use a small cookie scoop of batter and place on a silpat lined baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. With moistened fingertips, slightly flatten the dough.
4. Bake for 9 minutes at 375 F. Set on a rack to cool. They should be slightly crunchy around the edges when cool.
The Filling
1/4 cup room-temperature, unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
2 cups sifted powdered sugar ( use less powdered sugar if filling gets too dry)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
1. Place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl, and at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla.
2. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2-3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
3. Spread the filling with a knife or use a Ziplock with the corner cut off as a pastry bag.
4. Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie.
