Last night I was really craving homemade Oreo cookies. It had been a little while since I had made them and the kids were looking for something to do with their cousins. My cookie craving seems to have something to do with THIS POST here.
We never made it farther then this (above). They came out of the oven, and the kids ate them. I never even got to put the frosting in the middle. I am still bummed, that is my favorite part. Plus, the real reason I wanted to make them was just so I had an excuse to eat the frosting. I can’t justify making frosting then eating it with a spoon, but I can however, justify making frosting and eating it with a cookie!
This is what they are supposed to look like courtesy of Mommy’s Kitchen.
This same recipe for the basic cookie part is so easy to make. I often make just the cookies and add a bag of chocolate chips to it. Plus, the cake mix is on sale this week at Randalls for $1 and there are $1/2 peelies on the box making them only $.50 a box! So I stocked up! Thanks for the tip Shasta!
You can make the cookies more from scratch and use coco powder, but I have never noticed a difference in taste between that way and using the cake mix. Plus, the cake mix is easier!

I’m totally gonna make some of those Sopapilla Cheesecake 🙂 sounds amazing and looks even better.
those homemade oreos look amazing too but could you use something other than Devils Food cake? im not a big fan of that.
I have made the sopapilla cheescake…they are amazing!! This would be a great thing to try with the cresents that are on sale at safeway!! It is even easier to make if you can find the the roll out cresent roll sheets!! They are super!
I love the oreo cookies. I actually also used a yellow cake mix and also a white cake mix. did homemade butter cream (1 stick butter, 4 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 c milk and van flavoring) with the white cake mix cookies i did butter cream but added 1/2 cup unsweet coco powder to make choc butter cream. yum yum!!!
I forgot to add to my oreo cookie post that one cake mik makes exactly 23 cookies. And one batch of the icing will ice 2 batches of cookies.
am curious about the oreo cookies, i am making a batch and the cookies are still like balls after the time they are suppose to be in the oven. Am I suppose to press down on them before putting them in oven or is that suppose to happen after I take them out? tks for the recipes.
Mine usually spread out, but if they are not yes I would press them down.
Mine usually spread out to. Not that much but more than just a ball shape. I know that when I used the yellow cake mix and the white cake mix they look a bit different than when I used the devil’s food cake mix.
