NOM! Made these because I was dying to and also for care packages for Greta and Sam. Very fun. They do taste suprisingly like Oreos; next time try the similar Malted Milk sandwich cookies and the Salt & Pepper sandwich cookies from Baked, both available on the Serious Eats website, the filling is very similar. Please GOD eat them with a glass of milk. SO GOOD and it's true, they are awesomely and strangely similar to Oreos.
Notes: Used my Penzey's natural cocoa rather than Dutch process and added 3/8 tsp of baking soda to compensate, didn't detect any problems. 1 cup of sugar was plenty. The cookies are cutest (and therefore best and most enjoyable) when they are actually oreo-sized, which is a shockingly small amount of cookie dough. It says to use "a rounded teaspoon", and they'll come out about right if you use a little less than a teaspoon, rounded, rather than a round ball protruding from the teaspoon measure. You don't really need to use that much filling, it should be thin; I definitely had some leftover filling, but not enough to decrease the recipe significantly, just undershoot a little bit. The recipe made almost 30 cookies and some were monsters, so if this isn't for a crowd half of it would be just fine, thank you, and it's not an ideal candidate for freezing.
In sum: a fun project!
