My friend Andra is hosting a cookie exchange tonight.
We are supposed to bring 2 dozen copies of the recipe but I thought I would just post it here instead.
I originally found the cookie recipe on Erica's blog a while back.
Homemade Oreos
(via Retro Desserts, Wayne Brachman):
For the chocolate cookies:
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (1¼ sticks) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1 large egg
*Preheat to 375 degrees.
*In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar. While pulsing, or on low speed, add the butter, and then the egg. Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
*Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, or greased sheet, about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.

For today's frosting I used my favorite buttercream recipe
except I omitted the vanilla and used peppermint extract
I also crushed up about 4 candy canes and added them to the frosting.
