Homemade Oreos Recipe

I love to bake! 聽Love it. 聽I would bake a whole lot more frequently than I do, except then I’d have baked goods in my house all the time. 聽And heaven knows I don’t have any self control. 聽So it’s best I don’t bake all the time. 聽馃檪 聽But, when I do have the chance, I soak it up. 聽Baking is a lot more of a science than cooking. 聽You need to have the ingredient amounts, temperatures, and cooking times exact or else something’s bound to come out wrong. 聽And it just fills me with satisfaction to pull out a cake, cookies, or other yummy treat that is perfect and delicious!

Homemade Oreos

You know how some people make the best chocolate chip cookies? 聽When you think of that person, you think chocolate chip? 聽My aunt makes incredible gingersnaps. 聽Soft, chewy, delicious. 聽Well,聽I have a signature cookie, too. 聽Mine is the homemade oreo. 聽People know I’m going to bring these to various gatherings. 聽And they’re always a hit – I never have any to bring home with me! 聽I’ve seen variations of this recipe, but I’m telling you, this is THE ONE. 聽The key is using shortening, not oil. 聽I know, just the thought of these ingredients makes me kind of ill. 聽Just ignore it. 聽They’re worth it!

  3. These looks so delicious my kids would love making these and they look easy too

  5. Im not a huge oreo fan but these actually look better. I love that they are customizable.

  6. These look yummy… I don’t use box cake mix though… wonder/hope it will work with the dry ingredients from a homemade recipe. I may just have to try and find out.

  9. These Homemade Oreos are simply divine I would love to make these and have them as a summer treat. Thanks so much for your wonderful recipe that you shared today!

  10. These look totally delicious! I have to ask a question though. I am not a great baker or anything, although I do sometimes bake a little, but I don’t know what a cube of butter is. Sorry! Is that like a stick? If I make these, I want to make sure I don’t mess up! Thank you!

  11. Oh these look so good! Little Carter would love them! I pinned so I can make them for him! Thanks for the great recipe!
