Homemade Oreos

October 6th, 2010

I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like, but Oreos have always been my favorite store-bought variety.  They’re cute, compact and I love that they taste even better when disassembled and dunked into a glass of milk.  Despite the fact that the majority of my kitchen has been condensed into four large boxes, the weather these past few days has been far too dreary not to bake something up.  I used this recipe and the smell of the cookies managed to quell all of my homesick feelings I’ve been experiencing while packing up my place.

    Those look AMAZING! I’m a huge sucker for the icing in an Oreo and would probably want it all the time if I knew how to make my own!

    You are just about the cutest thing ever. Priorities…hey, I totally get it! PS: Just realized I’d post-dated today’s post for November 6th. AWESOME! Went about my morning running errands with Devon, feeling so organized and proud of myself for having my blog up at 9am sharp. I think this is what they call pregnancy brain. Or mommy brain.

    This is one of my favorite recipes (because it works so well in the food processor!) My recommendation is to try crushing up some candy canes, and adding some mint extract to vanilla frosting (I have a hard time imagining shortening in my frosting).

    MMM! I actually don’t like eating oreos with milk, and it drives my room mate crazy. She needs milk with oreos, I need tomato soup with grilled cheese… we all have our little quirks don’t we? :)
