Chocolate Oreo Cookies

1½ cups salted butter

¾ cup granulated sugar

1½ cups brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tbsp vanilla

3 cups flour

1 cup black cocoa powder

2½ cups crushed oreos, 40 oreos, crushed

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

Cream Cheese Frosting

¼ cup salted butter, softened

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

2 tsp vanilla

4 cups powdered sugar

milk to thin, if needed

Preheat oven to 350°.

Cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.

Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until light in color and creamy.

Add in the dry ingredients & mix until completely combined.

Portion out the dough into ½ cup portions. Roll into a ball and arrange 6 onto each cookie sheet. Press down slightly on the cookie dough, flattening it into what looks like a hockey puck.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are no longer glossy on the top.

Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 20 minutes before frosting.

While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting by whipping the butter, cream cheese and vanilla until smooth.

Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time.

Add milk a tsp at a time until you've reached your desired consistency, if needed.

 Pipe the frosting onto the warm cookies in a spiral.

Add extra crushed Oreos on top for garnish.

Serve warm.

Store in and air tight container either in the fridge or on the counter.
