Chocolate sandwich cookie – An iconic design in the world of cookies

A chocolate sandwich cookie, also known as a chocolate sandwich biscuit, is a type of cookie consisting of two chocolate-flavored cookies sandwiched together with a creamy filling in the center. The cookies are typically round and flat, with a crumbly texture, while the filling can vary but is often sweet and creamy.

One of the most well-known examples of a chocolate sandwich cookie is the Oreo, which was introduced by the National Biscuit Company (now Nabisco) in 1912 in the United States. The Oreo quickly became one of the most popular and iconic cookies worldwide, loved for its combination of chocolate cookies and creamy white filling.

Since the introduction of the Oreo, numerous variations and brands of chocolate sandwich cookies have been created by companies around the world. While the exact origin of chocolate sandwich cookies may be attributed to the Oreo, similar cookies have likely been made in various forms and regions for many years, as chocolate-flavored cookies with fillings have been enjoyed for generations.

You can certainly bake chocolate sandwich cookies at home! While it may appear difficult to recreate store-bought favorites such as Oreos, homemade chocolate sandwich cookies are surprisingly easy to make and often taste even better than commercial ones. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cookies:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions:

1. Make the Chocolate Cookies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
6. Divide the dough in half. Roll out each half between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
7. Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out cookies. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

2. Make the Filling:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, mixing until smooth and well combined.
3. Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk or cream to the filling mixture, and beat until smooth and creamy. If the filling is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk or cream until you reach your desired consistency.

3. Assemble the Chocolate Sandwich Cookies:

1. Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a dollop of the prepared filling onto the bottom side of one cookie.
2. Place another cookie on top of the filling, bottom side down, to create a sandwich.
3. Gently press the two cookies together until the filling spreads to the edges.
4. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling until all the sandwich cookies are assembled.
5. Enjoy your homemade chocolate sandwich cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days.

Feel free to get creative with the filling by adding different flavors such as mint extract or almond extract, or by mixing in chopped nuts or chocolate chips. Homemade chocolate sandwich cookies are a delightful treat that you can customize to your taste preferences.
