Homemade Oreo Cookies

Aug 5

These cookies are incredible. I have been making them my entire adult life. They are so easy and require very few ingredients! They are rich but oh so yummy! Hands down one of my kids favorite desserts.

Homemade Oreo Cookies with a Cream Cheese Filling

24 Sandwich Cookies

CREAM CHEESE FILLING:

8 oz Cream Cheese

1/2 cup butter
3 Cups Powder Sugar
1 teaspoon vaniilla

For the cookies:

2 Devils Food cake mixes (I like Betty Crocker)
1 Cup shortening
4 eggs

Instructions

For the cookies:

Tip: You can play with the size of the cookies. You can make them bigger or smaller. They are very rich so I would caution you making them too big.

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment beat together the cake mixes, eggs and shortening until well combined.

3. Using a medium cookie scoop roll the dough into balls and place on cookie sheet.

4. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Once baked transfer to cooling rack and until completely cooled.

Tip: These are even better the next day. The cookie is crispier and the frosting has had time to set up!

For the cream cheese filling:

Combine the cream cheese and butter and mix well. Slowly as the powder sugar. Then add the vanilla. If the frosting is too thick you can add a teaspoon of milk until desired consistency. To thicken add more powder sugar.
