Homemade Oreos

A fav of the Wilson kids...and better than the packaged version, I think!

Cookies:

2 pkgs. Devil's Food cake mix
4 eggs
1 C. shortening

Using pastry blender, mix all ingredients. Scoop onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. Let stand 5 mintues before removing to cooling rack.

Frosting/Filling:

6 Tbsp. cream cheese, softened
1/3 C. butter, softened
1 & 3/4 C. confectioners sugar
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix. Frost one cookie and put another cookie on top to make a sandwich.

Variations: Use red velvet cake mix, press cookies into heart shaped cookie cutter before baking. Color frosting pink. Make "sandwiches". Drizzle slightly thinned frosting over top of hearts.

  1. Delicious! Surprisingly, one of the PCC Senior missionary made this same homemade oreo and shared it at Break the fast dinner few months ago! The cookies were gone in an instant! Thanks for posting your awesome recipes!

    Aloha, Carolyn
