No one ever complained about an Oreo™ cookie showing up on the cookie platter during the holidays! These chocolate sandwich cookies are inspired by America’s favorite cookie, but are made from scratch using dark cocoa and marshmallow frosting. These slice-and-bake cookies can be made ahead of time and stored for later to accommodate short-notice events, a crazy schedule and everything in between.
