By now I’m sure you’re aware of my obsession with homemade Oreos. I swear, every time I’m at the grocery store I see a new flavor of Oreo! What is the world coming to? Since when was the original not good enough? Oh well, I’ll happily give in too 🙂
The Story:
A lot of people think I have some big, beautiful kitchen to do my work in. Well, that’s false. I work out of a tiny old kitchen. Most of the cabinets are broken, the faucet leaks, there’s no pantry and I share it with several other girls. But I love it. It’s quaint and charming and gets the job done!
Now, when roommates move out, they don’t always take all their food with them. They’ve left behind cans of soup, bags of microwave popcorn and lots of pasta and rice. But one roommate left behind an opened package of Birthday Cake Oreos. I didn’t venture over to her cabinet for several weeks since it was summer. But as soon as I opened up the small door the smell of cake batter came blasting out! It was like someone was throwing me a surprise party! I tossed the stale cookies, but the cabinet still smells like a bakery.

6. To assemble: Frost the bottoms of half the cookies and then place an unfrosted cookie on top of each. Roll the exposed edge in a bowl of sprinkles to decorate!
My super simple set up for these beauties. An old cutting board as my tabletop, a brown paper to add a little texture, a milk glass with fun straws for color, and a poster board in the back!

These are so fun! I would really take these over a whole birthday cake! 🙂
Ha! We had Oreos on the brain today. LOVE that you made these cake batter. Those are my favorite kind!
Oh Gosh, you’re killing me with all of these homemade Oreo recipes, I seriously need to make some!
These cookies look so festive and easy to put together. Thanks Lizzy!
What wonderful cookies! I fell in love with them at first sight, as soon as we move to a new house, I will definitely prepare them for my family. The main thing is to survive this move, this story is always accompanied by tremendous stress, not to mention the loss of money and time. But thank God, we found great guys from Texas for more information you can check here https://primetexasmovers.com/apartment-moving-services/ who perfectly remember all the subtleties of moving, I’m sure everything will go smoothly with us.
If I ever claim to have found treasure, I would lead them to this because this is totally amazing! To others, it may seem like a simple cream-filled cookie, but to me, cream-filled cookies are absolutely treasures! I am definitely adding this to my to-do recipes!
nise .. thank you
thanks good
