Ingredients
Oreos
  • 1 and 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter - at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Birthday Cake Frosting
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter - softened
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 1/4 cup dry cake mix - I used white
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles
Instructions
Oreos
  1. In a large bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt - set aside
  2. Using your stand mixer beat the butter until smooth - about one minute.
  3. Beat in the sugars until combined.
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Stop the mixer and add all the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
  6. Mix until just combined and the dough is formed.
  7. Chill the dough for 30 minutes - chilling is mandatory.
  8. Once the dough is chilled heat your oven to 350 degrees and line your baking sheets with silpat or parchment paper.
  9. Roll out about 2 teaspoon balls of dough and place on your baking sheet.
  10. Lightly press down the dough balls - flattening them slightly.
  11. Bake for about 6-8 minutes - check them after 6 minutes, mine took 7, you don't want to over cook these.
  12. Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to the cooling rack.
Birthday Cake Frosting
  1. Using a stand or hand mixer beat the butter until light and fluffy - about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Slowly add your icing sugar and dry cake mix into the butter - I like to sift these to make sure there are no lumps in the frosting.
  3. Beat in the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of milk.
  4. Keep adding milk until you've reached your desired consistency.
  5. Whip your frosting with your beaters for 3 - 4 few minutes.
  6. Fold in the sprinkles.
  7. Frost one cookie,and topping with another, making a cookie sandwich!
