Homemade Oreo’s

We love cookies at our house, and cookie sandwiches are like every child’s favorite thing, right? My kiddo’s love Oreo’s, and so do I, but as truffle balls, not just by themselves. BUT this homemade version? Chocolaty, sweet and with cream cheese filling instead of lard? Mmmm right up my ally.

So I thought Homemade Oreo’s would fit the bill. Crunchy (I’m going through a crunching craving phrase right now!), chocolaty, not overly sweet, perfect for snacking on. And since they have a cream cheese center (instead of LARD) they are much better tasting for my adult taste buds!

These are VERY crunchy the first day, but after sitting with the cream cheese in them they soften up quite a bit. SO if you like crunchy wait to frost them until you serve them, I’ll keep a few cookies and a little frosting aside just for me. But if you like the softer side then frost them, leave them overnight and enjoy the next day. I like them cold, straight out of the fridge, it keeps the frosting a little stiff and they are so good!
