Hello Kitty Oreos

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 egg

ingredients (filling):
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment or silpats.

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg until combined.

Slowly add the flour mixture until incorporated. The dough is ready once it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes so that it’s easier to roll out.

Roll out the dough to about 1/4″ thick. Use your cutter to cut out the shapes and transfer to the prepped baking sheet.

Bake for 9-10 minutes, depending on your oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Now on to the filling. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter, sugar and vanilla on low. Once it starts to come together, crank the dial up to 6 until you get a nice fluffy filling reminiscent of…hey, an Oreo!

Using a piping bag, pipe the filling onto the backs of the cookies. Spread with an offset spatula, then press down on the filling with the top cookie.
