Let us make OREOS at home

Came across this recipe while searching for a way to get my kid to get her hands covered in food. She loves Oreos, Presto Cookies and Stick-O's. So this recipe is set to be easy. Have a go at it and let me know.

1 Tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Gradually add butter into the bowl, then the whole egg
Mix together with a wooden spoon until dough comes together
