Homemade Oreos

 

{Homemade Oreos}

I was going to make these from this recipe but I had no sugar.  Bummer.  But I had a cake mix so I used that and improvised. 

Homemade Oreos

1 Devils Food Chocolate Cake mix

2 Eggs

1/2 cup oil

Mix it all up and shape into balls.  Slightly flatten the balls with your hand or the bottom of a glass.  Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.  Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.

Cream Cheese Icing:

1-8oz. package cream cheese, softened

1/4 c. butter (1/2 a stick), softened

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2/3 c. powdered sugar

Mix it all together until nice and fluffy and creamy.  Put it into a plastic bag and snip the end off.  Pipe a "blob" onto a cooled cookie. Place another cooled cookie on top and gently squish it.  Voila!  A homemade Oreo! 

These are really, really, really good!!  And easy.  They don't taste like an Oreo though, it's more like a Whoopie Pie. 

My hubby's word-for-word review: "These are not fit for consumption.  Please dispose of them and put them in my bottom dresser drawer."

He cracks me up.

Now go make these...your family with love them!
