Ingredients

Units Scale

Oreos:

  • 1/2 cup Butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg

For Oreos:

  2. With mixer set to low, slowly add in cocoa powder and flour. Mix until thoroughly incorporated and mix is even.
  3. Split dough into two and wrap each ball of dough in plastic wrap. Flatten dough into disk and fridge and cool for at least 20 minutes.

  2. With mixer set to low, add in powdered sugar. Add in one teaspoon of milk and slightly thin frosting. Mix in green food color.
