Last week my son made up a batch of homemade oreo cookies for a scout auction. I had a few people call to ask for the recipe, and was surprised to see that I hadn’t posted it here before. I don’t know how I missed it. Homemade Oreos are totally amazing, and have been a family favorite for years.

They are super simple to make because they start with a cake mix. And the cream cheese frosting in the middle makes them just divine. If you’ve never tried making your own oreos before, I highly recommend it. They are awesome! I usually make a double batch, because they disappear fast!

I recommend using a cookie scoop for this recipe so that your cookies will all turn out the same size. It’s much easier to match the tops and bottoms together that way!

Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup oil

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened

  • dash of salt

Instructions
 

  • Cookies: Combine all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Stir till well blended. Dough will be stiff.
  • Roll into 1" balls and roll in sugar if desired. (I recommend using a small cookie scoop so cookies turn out the same size.)

  • Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter till smooth. Add remaining ingredients and beat well.
