We love cookies at our house, and cookie sandwiches are like every child’s favorite thing, right? These homemade oreos are chocolaty, sweet and with cream cheese filling the taste is amazing.
How I created this copycat Recipe
As a kid I love taking apart oreos and stacking all the lard filling together and eating a big pile of it. Now I can’t even handle regular oreos (I go for the thins).
So I figured I needed to make a homemade version I’d love. Crunchy (I’m going through a crunching craving phrase right now!), chocolaty, not overly sweet, perfect for snacking on.
And for the filling? Cream cheese frosting – 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!
