Homemade Oreos


These homemade oreos are so good they don't last more than one day. Its is easy and fun to get the kids involved as they shape the cookies into balls. They are super easy to make and have become a new "Trevino Treat"


Ingredients:

2 Boxes Devil's Food Cake mix
3 Cubes of Butter, softened
8 Tbsp. flour
4 eggs

Filling:

8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cups powder sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with partchmant paper.
In a large bowl mix cake mix, butter, flour and eggs until well combined and forms a soft dough.
Roll into balls and place on prepared cookie sheet two inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes.
Set aside to cool.

Make filling.
In a medium bowl cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla.
Add the powder sugar.
Add food color if desired.

When cookies have cooled completely make a "sandwich" and enjoy with a tall glass of milk.

Note: We made these with orange frosting so they would be festive for Halloween. You could also add peppermint extract for a minty oreo. Whatever you do, they are delicious!
