Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Into a medium-size bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg; beat to combine. With mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture; continue beating until dough is well combined.

  • Using a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Dip bottom of a glass in sugar; press to flatten cookies to about 1/8 inch thick. (You may need to carefully remove dough from glass with a thin metal spatula.)

  • Transfer to oven, and bake until cookies are firm, about 10 to 12 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks to cool completely.

  • Place cream filling in a pastry bag fitted with a coupler, and pipe about 1 tablespoon filling onto the flat side of half the cookies. Place remaining cookies on top, and gently press on each to squeeze filling to edges. Filled cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 days.

Cook's Notes

If you like, roll the sides of the filled cookies in crushed candy canes or finely chopped nuts. The dough can be made ahead and chilled, wrapped well in plastic, for up to one week or frozen for up to one month; let thaw completely before proceeding with the recipe.

These cookies were crunchy and yummy. But I think if I were going to fill them I'd reduce the sugar just a bit.

Don't make the cookie part the day you want to eat them. The cookie part should be baked a day ahead and allowed to sit. They change in flavor overnight quite a bit. The 1.5 inch icecream scoop size is way too big also. A ball of dough measuring about an inch flattens to about 1.75 inches, and results in a cookie about 2 inches. This is a better size. Bake them for the lesser amount of time, until the dough has just deflated. The longer they are iced, the chewier they'll become.

I was dismayed about the amount of sugar called for... and baking them I realize they have a terrible, crystalline texture from all that sugar. When you bite them they are hard, crumbly, and don't even taste very good. What a waste of sugar, butter, and cocoa! I was going to give these as gifts but they are going to end up in the garbage. I'm very suprised that a Martha Stewart recipe could turn out so poorly.

I always add a pinch of salt to every dessert recipe even when it does not call for it, however Martha being a perfectionist we do expect her recipes to be perfect,

You are right, the salt is missing and I remember the salt because the guest Martha had on the show poured the salt in instead of using the spoon...suppose I shall just have to buy the cookbook :D I've been looking for an excuse and now I have one!!

I was wondering about salt... There is no salt on the ingredients list, but it says to add salt with dry ingredients.

These cookies were horrible! I didn't even finish baking the whole batch. Then I threw the rest away. Save yourself some time and buy the real oreos.

I made the cookies but filled them with different flavors of ice cream and rolled some in colored sprinkles. They were a hit!

I have a recipe similar to this and I add mini chocolate chips to the filling.
