These were very quick to make and soooooo tasty. My hubby had the idea to freeze them and OMG!! Total game changer. Soooooooo good!
Hello! Let’s talk about something that is charmingly old school and also VERY DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS:
Homemade Oreos.
This is important to say right off the bat: there’s no crunchy cookie and no dry frosting here. We’re just borrowing the concept of all Oreo layering but swapping the dry stuff for a soft, buttery, moist, perfectly dense little chocolate cookie stuffed with cream cheese frosting. Oh my word they’re so good. They’re an easy holiday baking win, giftable, party-able, and a total gift to humanity.
It feels wrong and unholy to say these are better than real Oreos but honestly, these are better than real Oreos.
Give me a soft, moist, cakey-meets-fudgy-meets-cream-cheese-frosting situation over a dry cookie any day. Or every day.
Say Hello To Boxed Cake Mix (Yes)
Okay. Now. Please accept that this is a recipe which uses a boxed cake mix. If you need something more homemade than that, you’ll need to find another version on the internet.
This is old school, and old school means we use the box cake mix like the low-to-moderately ambitious home bakers that we are.
Trust.
A Fudgy, Dense, Buttery Miracle
What results from this mind-bendingly easy combination of ingredients is nothing short of a holiday miracle. Bless you, Homemade Oreos.
The fudgy cookie, the thick swirl of cream cheese frosting, the dense, soft, buttery texture of all of it together after chilling in the fridge (or sitting on your snow-covered Midwestern porch) for a few days is a specific brand of joyful moment that I wait all year for.
Put on the cozy sweater, get a mug of milk, or eggnog, or hot dark coffee (omg), and let the magic loose.
