For the Oreo Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
Using a mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until creamy; about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to medium and beat in the sugars until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla, scraping down as needed. Slowly add in the dry ingredients until a dough is formed. Cover the dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Remove cookie dough from the fridge and roll into small balls (2 tsp) and place 12 on a baking sheet. Press down to slightly flatten. Bake each batch for 6-8 minutes. They will appear soft when done. Remove from oven and cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring off baking sheet.

For the Cream Filling:
Using a mixer with paddle attachment beat the butter and shortening on high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Turn off mixer and add icing sugar and vanilla. Beat on low for 1 minute and then switch to high and beat for an additional minute until creamy. Should be thick.

Spread cream filling between cooled chocolate cookies.

Optional: You can beat in ¼ tsp peppermint extract at the same time as the vanilla extract and green food coloring for another variation if you wish.
