Cooking Steps

Preheat your oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and position the oven rack in the center. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 240 g (2 cups) of all-purpose flour, 75 g (¾ cup) of unsweetened cocoa powder, 5 g (1 teaspoon) of baking soda, 2 g (½ teaspoon) of baking powder, and 3 g (½ teaspoon) of salt. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are evenly blended.
In a separate mixing bowl, cream together 226 g (1 cup; 2 sticks) of unsalted butter at room temperature with 200 g (1 cup) of granulated sugar and 100 g (½ cup) of packed brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add 2 large eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed after each addition until fully incorporated. Then, add 10 ml (2 teaspoons) of vanilla extract and continue to mix on low speed until combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a thick dough forms. Don’t overmix to maintain the cookies’ tenderness.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look set around the edges and slightly soft in the center. They’ll firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, prepare the filling by combining 250 g (2 cups) of powdered sugar with 60 ml (4 tablespoons) of heavy cream in a mixing bowl, adding food coloring as desired. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread the filling generously onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat this process for all cookies.
For decoration, sprinkle festive sprinkles over the filling before it sets, if using. Otherwise, let the fillings set for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Serve immediately or store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy your festive Christmas Oreo Style Cookies!

Variations

Peppermint Bark Oreo Cookies: Add 5 g (1 teaspoon) of peppermint extract to the filling and top with crushed peppermint candies before the filling sets for a festive minty twist.
Gluten-Free Oreo Cookies: Substitute the all-purpose flour with 240 g (2 cups) of gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, ensuring it contains xanthan gum for texture.
Dairy-Free Chocolate Cookies: Use vegan butter or coconut oil in place of unsalted butter and replace heavy cream in the filling with coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative.
Nutty Hazelnut Variation: Incorporate 100 g (1 cup) of finely chopped hazelnuts into the cookie dough for a rich, nutty flavor; also consider using Nutella as a filling for added decadence.
