Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line baking sheets with parchment paper

In a bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined

Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets

Flatten each ball with a fork

Bake for 10-12 minutes, then let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

For the mint filling, beat 1/2 cup of softened butter until creamy

Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth and well blended

Mix in the peppermint extract, milk, and green food coloring if using until the filling reaches the desired consistency and color

Spread a generous amount of mint filling onto the flat side of a cooled cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich

Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling

Place the assembled cookies in the refrigerator to firm up while preparing the chocolate coating

For the chocolate coating, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave or double boiler

Stir until smooth and glossy

Dip each cookie sandwich into the melted chocolate, covering it completely

Place the dipped cookies on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set

Once the chocolate coating is set, your homemade double chocolate mint filled Oreos are ready to enjoy! Store the cookies in an airtight container
