9 Reviews of Homemade Oreos

Yummy cookies! Not really "Oreo" texture, but still very good. I would suggest dividing the dough into two portions, rolling both into logs in parchment paper, freezing for four hours and slicing instead of the drop-and-smash technique (though my toddler did enjoy that part). I actually reduced the sugar to 2/3 cup and it was still PLENTY sweet for us!

    Soooo good! Quick and very easy to make. I only used a scant 2/3 cup of sugar for the chocolate cookie part, because that's all the sugar I happened to have on hand! They were perfect that way, because the filling made up for any sweetness the chocolate part lacked.

    These are SO MUCH more fulfilling to eat than a normal oreo out of the box! Very easy to make, I had all the ingredients already in the kitchen. You first bite in and taste the not-too-sweet chocolate cookie (I used 1 cup of sugar), then taste the sweet, fluffy vanilla filling. I rolled the dough into logs and refrigerated, like another reviewer suggested, then cut them and it worked perfectly.

    way to big, would have been perfect if the cookies were smaller! Otherwise wonderful!

    These were lovely cookies, not identical to the Oreo taste but probably much healthier. I actually skipped making the filling and used vanilla ice-cream instead to make ice-cream cookie sandwiches. Yum!

    OK. Just made and tasted the homemade oreos. They were good. I need to decrease the size of the cookie next time. I found the rounded teaspoon was a little too much batter. They were approx 1 1/2 in across. They tasted pretty good though. My cookies were very thin also.

    My husband claims this is the best cookie he's ever eaten! I also rolled into logs, chilled and sliced. I used regular butter (I didn't have unsalted) and they came out great. I may cut back on the sugar in the cookie a little bit next time to get even closer to that "oreo" taste

    My daughter loves Oreos so these cookies were a big hit. I love the dark chocolate taste and the filling is also a great find, I will use it for other cookies. I used 1 cup of sugar and found this sweet enough for our taste. I also rolled the dough into logs and cut cookies from them. A truly great cookie thanks for sharing this recipe.
