I had a recipe for homemade oreos, however, I couldn’t find it in my barrage of recipes. My husband loves them and I wanted to make them for him. I found this version at Not So Secret Family Recipes. When I made this I halved the cookie recipe but made the full frosting recipe. We love lots of frosting. When I pulled the cookies out at 8 minutes they didn’t seem cooked enough, so I ended up cooking them for 10 minutes. I think I actually over cooked them. They were still good, but next time I’ll cook them for 9 minutes. This first tray, I just dropped the dough on the sheet with my cookie scoop. The cookies came out too puffy. I wanted that flat oreo look. So on the second tray I flattened the dough a little before putting them in the oven. That worked great. The other fun thing about this cookie recipe is you can die the frosting to make them fun for the holidays. You cand fill them with red and green colored frosting at Christmas, orange for Halloween, or even pink for Valentines Day.
2 boxes devil food mix
2/3 cup oil
4 eggs
Mix by hand, drop spoonfuls on to cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake @ 350° for 8-9 minutes. Will make 48 cookies, so 24 sandwiches.
Frosting
4 oz cream cheese
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 Cups powdered sugar
Mix together, it will seem really thick but just keep mixing.


















Can’t wait to try the oreos! Thanks.
What a neat idea! Those sound like fun and look deliciously scrumptious!
Oreos made with a cake mix. I’m doomed! I refuse to buy junk food and then come home and put some cake-mixy thing in the oven. I could see myself putting these together “just to try” them, while I ate the whole batch.
Oh, those look so good! I love oreos and other sandwich cookies.
How cute! I just put this stuff on my grocery list. Gonna try them tonight! Thanks!
Yum! These are my hubby’s favourite cookie. It is a wonderful one to share for sure.
