I came across this recipe here.
Oreo-style Cookies from Scratch (adapted from One Girl Cookies Bakery)

Chocolate Wafers
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
½ teaspoon table salt
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 eggs
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter for 30 seconds. Stir them together and microwave an additional 30 seconds. Repeat this process until chocolate and butter have both melted.
Using either a hand-held mixer with the beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle, combine melted chocolate and butter, and mix on low speed for 20 seconds.
Add eggs one at a time and mix on low speed until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed for 10 seconds. Finish mixing with ingredients with a rubber spatula by hand.
Using two sheets of parchment paper roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
Refrigerate dough for one hour or until firm.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Using a small round cookie cutter cut out as many rounds as possible and place one inch apart on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. You can reroll the scraps once.
Bake for five minutes, then rotate the pan in the oven and bake an additional five minutes.
When the cookies are cool enough to handle, fill with cream filling (see directions below). Set aside for 20 minutes while the filling firms up.

 Cream Filling
2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 pinch table salt
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Using either a hand-held mixer with the beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle, cream butter and salt at medium speed until light and fluffy
Add half the confectioner's sugar and mix on low for 30 seconds. Scrape down the bowl.
Add vanilla and mix on low for 30 seconds. Scrape down the bowl.
Gradually mix in remaining confectioners' sugar, holding some back until you reach the desired consistency. It should be smooth and spreadable, but not so runny that it will drip off the cookie.
Fill chocolate wafers with pastry bag fitted with small tip. You can also spread carefully with a knife or small spatula. A modest amount (about a teaspoon per cookie) is better so it doesn't squeeze out from between the wafers.
Cookies can be stored for up to one week in an airtight container.

  2 pounds frozen hash browns (partially thawed is best!) 2 cans cream of chicken soup 1/2 cup milk 1 pint sour cream 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon minced garlic 10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (grated) 1/2 stick butter (melted) 2 cups coarse-crushed corn flakes **** Mix cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic and cheese. Fold in hash browns. Put into greased casserole dish. Mix crushed cornflakes and melted butter, sprinkle on top. Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes. **** To freeze this dish, put into freezer bags or container, without adding the crushed cornflakes. Then, thaw and cook @ regular temp/time, adding the cornflake/butter topping right before baking. You can also make a huge batch of the sauce and keep it frozen in a container until the day you need it, pulling the sauce and hashbrowns from the freezer to thaw, then proceeding with the remaining steps.
