Do Oreo cookies remind you of your childhood or perhaps just of yesterday? If you're anything like me, it might be yesterday.


If you like an Oreo, you will love this cookie. From the first bite, this chocolate cookie has a nice crunch and is full of chocolate flavor! Next is the amazing creamy vanilla frosting. You just have to make this cookie recipe to find out how delicious it is!  I get no complaints when I make them! 


Just before getting married (a long time ago) I got a new job. The company was full of amazing women who took me under their wing and shared their love of cooking! This wonderful recipe, along with so many other great recipes, were shared!

How to Make Cream-Filled Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

This recipe starts with a cake mix and ends with homemade Oreos everyone will love!


Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.  In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix with melted butter and one slightly beaten egg and mix well. Firmly shape dough into 1-inch balls.


Step 2:  Place the cookie dough balls 2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet or lined with parchment paper or silicone mats and bake for 9-13 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before moving to the wire rack. 


Step 3: For the creamy vanilla filling, in a small bowl or medium bowl combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, shortening, vanilla extract and egg whites and mix using an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are combined. Slowly add the remaining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue mixing on medium to high speed until the filling is smooth and creamy.  


Step 4: Line the counter with sheets of parchment paper. Spread a heaping teaspoon of filling between two cookies and sandwich them together. This recipe makes 18-24 cookies.
