Description
Simple homemade-style Oreo-inspired chocolate cookies with a deep cocoa flavor and crisp, crunchy texture perfect for crushing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably dark)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powader, baking soda, and salt.
- 3. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- 4. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
- 5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a stiff dough forms.
- 6. Scoop small teaspoon-sized portions and flatten into thin discs on the baking sheet.
- 7. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are set.
- 8. Cool completely—the cookies will crisp as they cool.
- 9. Once fully cooled, crush the cookies by hand or pulse in a food processor until fine.
Notes
- Bake the cookies thin for the crispest texture.
- Dark cocoa powder gives the most Oreo-like flavor.
- Use crushed cookies for pie crusts, cheesecakes, ice cream mix-ins, or toppings.
