Homemade Oreo Cookies

Who can resist these chewy homemade Oreo cookies? These totally remind me of when I was a kid. We used to take them for dessert on picnics in the summer. No trip to the lake or family gathering is complete without these tasty treats. They’re not at all like the crunchy, stale store brand. These are soft and chewy. The cookies have an almost brownie texture. And the cream cheese filling is to die for!  My favorite way to eat these is straight out of the freezer. So yummy!

For the Cookies

These cookies are completely simple and foolproof! Even if you’re not a “baker” you can bake these in no time and with no hassle. All you need are a couple of boxes of Devil’s Food Cake mix, some butter, eggs and vanilla. That’s it! Just four ingredients and you have chewy, chocolatey cookies that taste delicious all on their own, but are elevated to a real treat with the cream cheese filling. Roll them into small balls (about the size of a walnut). Do not overcook these little cookies. They’re much better when they’re a little soft.

Ingredients for Oreo Filling

This filling is just a variation on our Cream Cheese Frosting. Make sure your cream cheese and butter is at room temperature before mixing them together with powdered sugar and a little vanilla. Whip until nice and fluffy. Spoon a little bit onto one of the Oreo cookies, then top with another. Let them set up, and store in the refrigerator or the freezer until served.

Variations on Homemade Oreo Cookies

For Grasshopper Oreo cookies, mix a little bit of mint extract and green food coloring to the frosting. So deliciously cool and minty!You can also make chocolate peanut butter Oreo cookies by mixing in a few tablespoons of peanut butter into the frosting.Try red velvet cake mix instead of devil’s food mix for a fun twist.For those delicious “double stuff” Oreos, add extra frosting.
