You can now make milk’s favorite cookie with this simple & yummy homemade Oreo recipe!
Easy Homemade Oreos
Whether you’re Team Cream or Team Cookie, these homemade oreos are sure to tickle your taste buds!
I’ve tried making homemade oreos in the past using a cake mix recipe, and although they were slightly quicker and simpler (meaning a few less ingredients to measure out), the cookies never did quite turn out that great.
Of course, no one complained and sure they would get eaten… because who doesn’t love a good homemade cookie (including The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars)?
But that version of homemade oreo cookies was never my favorite or a recipe that I would crave.
Until now.
I found the perfect & easy Oreo recipe! These oreos are soft, but not too soft. They have just the right amount of bite to them, while still tasting homemade.
You’re going to love them!

Homemade Oreos
I found the original recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction, but I altered it and changed the frosting recipe because I don’t like to use shortening (with one exception being for our Homemade Halloween Spudnuts aka The Best Donuts Ever! )
