Whether you’re four or forty years old, I think just about everyone loves Oreo cookies! And, just like the store-bought versions, you wont be able to eat just one of these! I remember my mom making these when we were little and we loved helping her put the filling between the cookies and smashing them together. We’d always have to hide one or two cookies in a secret place because when the boys came home from school these cookies were gone!
I have two recipes posted below. One is a truly homemade oreo cookie, and the other uses a cake mix. If you’re in a time crunch, the cake mix version have been a family favorite for years! Otherwise, you wont be sorry for making the Homemade Oreo Cookie recipe, courtesy of the fabulous Sally from Sally’s Baking Addiction! Do you follow her blog? You should. She’s a baking whiz!
- 1 package of Devil's Food cake mix
- 1/2 cup Shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 (8 oz.) package of cream cheese
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients together. Roll dough into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire cooling wrack.
-
Once cooled, add a small dollop off cream cheese filling onto one cookie. Place another cookie on top and press together.

I so love these homemade versions of oreos! I think they’re better than the packaged deal!
Lauren Allen says
We love the homemade version too–totally better than packaged 🙂 Thanks Amber
Pam @ Over the Big Moon says
These look like one of those recipes that I could eat a dozen of in one sitting! Which is not a good thing for my belly! But, I still have full intention of making these! haha 😉
Lauren Allen says
I really have to watch myself to make sure I don’t eat a dozen in one sitting!! 🙂 Thanks Pam
Kaylynn says
A classic goodie – I LOVE that you shared both the homemade and the cake mix version. You’re too good to me!
Lauren Allen says
Thanks Kaylynn! Both recipes are yummy, and some people like to save time doing it with a cake mix!
Kaylie says
Hi!
This is the first time I’ve been on this site and the recipe sounds delicious! Just one thing though, does the frosting in the homemade version have to be made with vegetable shortening? Can I substitute it for oil or is it absolutely necessary?
Thanks 🙂
Lauren Allen says
Hi Kaylie, The shortening helps give it the right texture…you could try substituting butter, but any substitution will yield a different result…sorry to not be more help!
Cyndi says
Hey there! This is my second time making these, soooo good! I have a good amount of frosting left, can I freeze the frosting? Thanks!
Lauren Allen says
Thanks Cyndi! I’m happy you liked them! I think the frosting will freeze great.

How many cookies should the homemade cookie recipe make?
These are delicious by the way but I only got 7 full cookies (14 cookies) using the 2 tblsp per cookie for the balls will have to double next time I guess.
Lauren Allen says
They should be rolled into 2 teaspoons per cookie, not tablespoons…that’s probably where your didn’t make as many 🙂 .

We love these!
