A great back to school treat and activity is to bake homemade oreos. My dear friend Michelle shared this recipe with me a few years ago and it is ALWAYS a hit, plus little ones think it is neat to make their own oreos. You must follow the directions EXACTLY, but it is super easy.
Homemade Oreos
Ingredients for Cookies ~ 2 devil's food cake mixes, 1 & 1/2 cups shortening, 4 eggs
Ingredients for Filling ~ 2 cups powdered sugar, 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese (softened), 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons milk
Directions ~ Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. *Since you bake these for precisely 9 minutes you MUST preheat your oven.* Combine mixes, shortening and eggs. Scoop out dough and form into balls. You will want to make your balls as close to the same size as possible. Place dough on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 minutes. Remove cookies from oven. Cookies will NOT look done. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Place on rack to cool. Combine remaining ingredients. Spread filling between 2 cookies.
This recipe makes approximately 38 decently sized oreos (76 individual cookies).
I am such a bakaholic/cookieandbakedgoodseatingaholic that I have to plan on sharing my goodies.. which usually means doubling a recipe... or I will eat them all in little to no time. However, this recipe makes enough to share without doubling... even for me!
Happy Baking!!!
