Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- With a mixer, or an extremely strong arm mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the butter, and then the egg. Continue mixing until dough comes together in a mass. It will be very thick. YOU MAY NEED TO ADD A LITTLE WATER TO MAKE THE DOUGH STICK TOGETHER. Just add a tiny bit; It needs to be very stiff.
- Place small rounded spoonfuls of batter (think about a TBl)on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the dough with the heel of your hand. The cookies will spread very very slightly when baked, so you can fit more than your standard dozen on a sheet.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes. Transfer paper or foil sheets with cookies on a rack to cool.
- FILLING: Cream butter and shortening (or coconut oil) in a mixing bowl, and gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Beat for 2-3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
- ASSEMBLY: Spoon or pipe filling into the center of each cookie and press together.
- Enjoy with a tall glass of milk.
- NOTE: You can use vegetable shortening, coconut oil, or even regular butter in the filling. If you use all butter, your filling may 'melt' with time in a room temperature situation. Both shortening and coconut oil will make the filling stable.
- NOTE: Black cocoa (which is extra alkaline) gives the cookies the extra dark, black color that our childhood favorites were. You can find this in speciality food stores or order it very cheaply online. If that's too much trouble (although I'll vouch that it's worth it) you can simply replace it with regular dutch processed cocoa for a 'browner' rather than 'black' cookie.

Steps:
- Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375°F.
- In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar. While pulsing, or on low speed, add the butter, and then the egg. Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
- Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately two inches apart. With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
- To make the cream, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl, and at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
- To assemble the cookies, in a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch, round tip, pipe teaspoon-size blobs of cream into the center of one cookie. 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. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream. Dunk generously in a large glass of milk.
HOMEMADE OREOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (225 grams) of softened butter with the white sugar and salt, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs until fully incorporated.
- Sieve together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda into the mix. Blend well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix together until combined.
- Turn the dough out onto your surface and push together into a flat square. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
- Remove the dough from the fridge, and for ease of rolling out, divide the dough into 4 (this way the dough stays cool longer and prevents the need of re-chilling later on).
- To roll out the dough, place a quarter of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper (alternatively the dough can be rolled out on a lightly floured surface - though the parchment is preferred as it prevents any additional flour from altering the color/appearance of the dark cookies). Roll the dough between the two sheets of parchment to ¼-inch (½ cm) thickness.
- Using a small round cookie cutter (alternatively, we found the rim of a champagne glass to be a perfect size!) cut the dough into individual rounds and place on a large parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least ½-inch (1¼ cm) between each cookie.
- Pack together and re-roll out any scraps to cut additional cookies. Repeat with this process with each remaining ¼ of the dough.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. If baking multiple trays at the same time, be sure to rotate the pans in the oven halfway through. Remove and transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- To make the filling, combine ½ cup (115 grams) butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Beat together until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the cookies by spreading a generous scoop of the icing onto one of the cookies and sandwiching it with another. Give it a light squeeze and scrape any excess off to clear and even out the sides.
- Serve with a glass of milk.
- Enjoy!

HOMEMADE OREOS
This recipe for homemade Oreos came to The Times from the pastry chef Stella Parks, whose trick of rolling out the dough onto cocoa powder gives the cookie a chocolatey boost. Using shortening for the cookie cream will lend it a tacky texture, perfect for a cookie-aisle authenticity.

Steps:
- For the cookies: Using a mixer, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, coffee powder and vanilla extract. With mixer still running, add egg yolks one at a time.
- Stop mixer and scrape bowl with a rubber spatula. Add flour and 1 cup cocoa, and resume mixing at low speed until the mixture is crumbly and uniformly blended. Scrape the bowl and knead the dough lightly to form a smooth ball. Transfer to a work surface and flatten into a disk. The dough may be rolled right away or wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to a week; bring to room temperature before rolling.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly sift some cocoa powder onto a work surface, and roll the dough to .125-inch thickness. Slide a metal spatula under the dough to prevent it from sticking. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. The cookies will not spread during baking so may be placed close together. Knead and reroll the dough scraps to make more cookies.
- To add texture to the cookies, place any remaining dough in a mixing bowl. Mix with enough hot water until the dough has thinned into a paste. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a very small tip, or a heavy duty Ziploc bag with a tiny hole poked in the corner. Pipe a design on each cookie; a tight cornelli lace design gives the impression of an Oreo.
- Bake the cookies until firm, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely on a rack.
- For the filling: Using a mixer, cream together shortening or butter, confectioner's sugar, vanilla and salt. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes, scraping the bowl periodically. The long mixing time smoothes, whitens and aerates the filling.
- For assembly: Using a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip or a spoon, place 1 teaspoon (or more if desired) of filling directly onto the center of the undersides of half the cookies. To finish, top with remaining wafers and press down with your fingers, applying very even pressure so the filling will spread uniformly across the cookie. Place cookies in an airtight container and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or a mixture of dark and semisweet chocolate.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the cookies in a resealable bag with a rolling pin.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Sandwich the cookies with your favorite filling, such as vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache, or peanut butter.
