Homemade Oreo Cookies.


I have seen these around about a million times. But I didn't like that the cookie part was soft.

Well I had an OREO sweet tooth and no Oreo's So I found an excellent recipe. That I really like.

They are a bit sweeter then reg Oreo's In fact they remind me of CAPRI's from pepperidge( except the filling isn't as "Lardy" tasting.)

It was pretty easy and the kids had fun squeezing in the filling!! They were a hit before they became "oreo's"


For Chocolate wafers:

1 1/4 C flour

1/2 C. Cocoa powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 C. sugar

1/2 C +2 TBS. unsalted butter ( room temp.)

1 Lrg. Egg


Mix all your dry ingredients then add the butter .. mixing it in.. then add the egg. continue to mix until dough comes together in a mass ball.( it will look pretty dry.)


Take about a teaspoon of batter and place on a slightly greased sheet. place 2 in apart. Roll and flatten.

Bake for about 9 min on 350 degrees.


For the Cream filling

1/4 C. unsalted butter ( room temp)

1/4 C. Vegetable Shortening.

2 Cups. Powder sugar

2 tsp. Vanilla

( it wasn't smooth as I thought it should be so I add a CAP FULL of milk to make it creamy.



Place filling in a pastry bag( or zip lock and cut corner)

Blob about a teaspoon in the MIDDLE of upside down cookie( make sure cookies have cooled completely.) Place another cookie on top and lightly press down.


Makes about 30 cookies. the cookies is a bit crisper( which I prefer) If you want a "chewier" cookie use about 2 tsp of dough and shave a few min from oven time.

Jess- Yeah they are crisper.. or if you like a chewier ( think fudge brownie..) just do a bigger cookie. and shave a min of the timer

CLEEM FIRRING!!!!!LOL!! I had totally forgot about that!!! (seriously how did we manage to keep our jobs there?) LMAO... 5 yrs later and it's still funny. ( maybe they couldn't fire us .. cause they thought it was hilarious too.)
