12 Days of Christmas Cookies: Day 6 - Homemade Oreo Cookies

The ever so popular Oreo cookie has now been created in a homemade version. How wonderful is that? How many yummy food items can you think of that has this wonderful, little sandwich cookie in it? I love an Oreo Blizzard from DQ! What about Cookies 'n Cream ice cream? Oreo cheesecake? Oreo bits on top of frozen yogurt? Or how many times have we eaten a pie that has crushed oreos made into the crust? This cookie is apparently a very versatile cookie. And loved by many!!!

Well now you can make your own homemade Oreo cookies using this recipe I got from my very good friend, Brooke. I love Brooke...she always knows how to tempt my tastebuds. Look out for a future recipe of her's called "Addiction". It's the most yummiest snack ever and definately addicting!! It just so happens that her homemade Oreo cookies are addicting as well.

Did you read my previous post about the recipe for Chocolate Rolo Cookies where I stated there would be alternate version of that cookie? Well, this is it! You will need to go HERE for the original recipe (minus the Rolos) and then add the Oreo cream recipe in between 2 of the cookies.

Oreo Cream filling

1/2 lb. powdered sugar (about 2 cups)
4 oz. cream cheese
1 cube butter
1/2 teas. vanilla extract

Beat until fluffy. Frost between 2 cooled cookies (I put frosting in zip lock bag and cut a small hole on one corner to frost...like a disposable pastry bag...works great!) Then refrigerate until cream sets up. Devour cookies with a large glass of cold milk...YUM!
