Recipe for The Real Oreo Cookie

As requested, here it is. Enjoy.

The Cookie

1c unsalted butter, melted
3/4c sugar
1t vanilla extract
1c bittersweet chocolate, melted
1 egg
1 1/2c all purpose flour
3/4c dark cocoa powder
1t salt
1/2t baking soda

In a bowl, whisk butter and sugar well. Add vanilla, melted chocolate and egg. Mix well.
In another bowl sift all the dry ingredients together, including the cocoa powder.
Add the dry slowly to the wet in thirds.
Roll batter into parchment paper, shape into a log. Chill at least one hour, reshaping into a log every 20 mins.
Cut 1/4inch slices and bake at 325F, about 15mins. they will spread a bit, so put 2 rows on your baking sheet.

The Filling

1/2c unsalted butter
1 2/3c powdered sugar
1t vanilla extract
1T milk
pinch of salt

Whisk everything together until smooth and light in color. Put into a piping bag with any tip you like. Use immediately, if it sits it will appear less smooth, so just re-whip. Fill cold cookies, press together gently.
