If you are fan of the famous cookie, you will be thankful for this Homemade Oreo Cookies recipe. The filling is the best! No need to buy store bought, you can make these chocolate cookie sandwiches right at home.

Homemade Oreo Cookies

My family is big fans of Oreo cookies. I am not talking a slight addiction, more like a BIG addiction. I have been making the kids our Oreo Pudding pops to enjoy this summer but our No Bake Oreo Cheesecake Recipe was a huge hit last week. When making the cheesecake, I was thinking about how great it would be to have homemade Oreos.  I will quite often buy generic store brand Oreo cookies but nothing can really compare to the real thing. That was until we made our own homemade Oreo cookies.

There is nothing better than twisting apart those yummy chocolate cookies to lick off the filling, just ask my sons, lol. These cookies turned out great. The whole batch was consumed in one day in our house.

This recipe does require a bit of work but really worth the effort. The filling tastes just like a real Oreo cookie. The cookie tastes pretty darn close but obviously missing the Oreo stamp from the middle, ha ha.

You will need some basic ingredients that you most likely already have in your pantry to make this yummy cookie recipe. Do not let the sticky dough scare you off from finishing the recipe. I thought I had a failure on hand after I had my hands all stuck up with dough, ha ha. Getting your dough rolled super thin is the key. I could have actually made mine a bit thinner. Keeping yourself from consuming the bowl of filling will be difficult too but I have warned you.

INGREDIENTS
Cookies:
1 1/4 cup Flour
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup softened Butter
1 Egg
Filling:
1/4 cup softened Butter
1/4 cup Shortening
2 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Beat in the butter and egg until dough comes together.
Place between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll out to between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.
Place in freezer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375.
Use a 2″ cookie cutter and make cookies.
Place on parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 9 minutes.
Allow to cool completely.
Cream together butter, vanilla and sugar.
Gradually beat in the sugar.
Continue beating until fluffy.
Transfer filling to piping bag with round tip.
Pipe filling onto a cookie to nearly cover.
Place another cookie on top of the filling and lightly press.
