(Include a high-quality image of the ingredients below.)

• 1.5 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour (like King Arthur or Bob’s Red Mill)
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for filling)
• ½ cup softened butter or coconut oil (for dairy-free)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • In a bowl, whisk 1.5 cups gluten-free flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
2. Make the Dough:
   • Beat ½ cup softened butter with ⅓ cup powdered sugar until fluffy. Gradually add dry ingredients until a thick dough forms.
3. Cut & Bake:
   • Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness. Use a shot glass or cookie cutter to create circles.
   • Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
4. Whip the Filling:
   • Mix ¾ cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp softened butter, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth.
5. Assemble:
   • Spread filling on one cookie, top with another, and gently press. Repeat!

What to Serve With Gluten-Free Oreos

• Dunk in almond milk for a classic combo.
• Crumble over vanilla ice cream for a decadent sundae.
• Pair with fresh strawberries for a sweet-and-tangy contrast.

Top Tips for Perfecting Gluten-Free Oreos

• Chill the Dough: If it’s too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes before rolling.
• Go Vegan: Use coconut oil instead of butter.
• Avoid Overbaking: Cookies firm up as they cool—pull them when edges are set

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Store: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Layer unfilled cookies with parchment paper; freeze for 3 months.
• Revive: Microwave filled cookies for 5 seconds to soften the filling.
