Gluten Free Soft "Oreos"

I just found out that it's National Oreo Day today, so I knew that I had to post this recipe!

If you eat on the gluten free diet and you thought that you had to give up Oreos because of that, then you are going to be happy with this recipe. The dark cocoa in these cookies really gives them a great, Oreo-like flavor.

They taste amazing, and they are pretty easy to put together, too. And now you can know that you won't have to live the rest of your life without soft Oreos in it!
