Ashley's Famous Home Made Oreo Cookies

These are the EASIEST cookies and get eaten SO fast around here.
They do take a while to make the entire batch, but I always find it to be worth it.


Home Made Oreo's Preheat oven to 400 degrees F'

2 sticks of butter (slightly softened)
4 eggs
2 devils food cake mixes



frosting:
1 package of cream cheese
1 stick of butter (slightly softened)
3 cups of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla


Mix the cookie ingredients together, roll into 1/2 inch-1 inch balls, try to make them all about the same size and place them about 2 inches apart on the ungreased cookie sheet, I usually can do about 4 a row and 6 rows. I also usually have about 3 cookie sheets that I alternate. cook them for 5 minutes max. They don't look done but don't do it longer, unless you like them crispt, I don't. Sometimes if the balls are rolled a little bigger than I might do it a titch longer.

After all the cookies are cooked, place them in vertical rows of two, each cookie having a match. turn over one cookie and leave the other. I usually do this on tin foil.

make the frosting
mix all the ingredients together
put in a frosting dispenser or in a ziploc with the tip cut

put the frosting on the cookie that is turned over and place the other one on on top.

We put these in the freezer, they are so so so yummy this way. My family loves them in the freezer or the fridge. I think this makes about 50 cookies.

* you can also color the frosting for certain holidays and do little flower or polka dot designs on top too. These are always a hit!
