    In an airtight container to keep them fresh. But if by chance they last more than a day I would stick them in the fridge. So glad you liked them. -The Six Sisters

    All of these comments are great. Has anyone actually made them and tried them? I'm just curious if they actually TASTE like Oreo's. I just love this idea. I'm an oreo lover!
22. Six Sisters says:

    We make them all of the time and they are the first cookies to go at a party. They don't taste just like an oreo, but they are delicious. The chocolate cookie part is soft. So you have the chocolate cookie with the vanilla cream filling. YUM.

    Homemade oreos... they look amazing! This would be a great party treat for my son :) I will tell myself these oreos a little healthier because they're homemade, right?! I found your blog on the What I Learned Wednesday link-up. Thanks for sharing this! Amy http://livinglifetruth.blogspot.com/
24. Aimee says:

    literally just got done making these! I love them to death. Little pointer, let the cookie part cool completely before putting the frosting on...when they are still warm the frosting just oozes right out. Learned that the hard way, made quite a mess! LOL. Mine turned out really, REALLY sweet. I couldn't eat more then one, but they are still fabulous!

    Hi! Just wondering if I can substitute butter for the shortening?
26. Cyd says:

    Hi Marcie, we have always used shortening. Butter would probably work, but you may get a flatter cookie because butter melts at a lower temp than shortening. Butter would surely add a yummier flavor. I looked on MyRecipeMagic.com and searched homemade oreos. There are a few different recipes out there too. Not one of them used butter. Some used vegetable oil. You can check it out. Hope this helps. Let us know how it all turns out. Cyd (mom of the six sisters)

    My family loves, loves, LOVES these! I have found they taste better with a Betty Crocker cake mix instead of Duncan Hines, the Duncan Hines are grainy and don't flatten out at all for some odd reason. I have three sons so I always double the recipe, and recently made a very unfortunate discovery... My boys would eat them all in one day if I let them, so I put half of them in the freezer to slow them down. Turns out they taste AMAZING frozen! Seriously, as delicious as they are, they are 10 times better frozen! They taste like the most amazing ice cream sandwich! Now when I make them we put them ALL in the freezer! Awesome summer treat! Thanks for introducing us to our new family favorite!

    Love these and have made them in the past. However, the recipe is no longer working on this website. All it gives are the ingredients with no instructions. Thanks!

    Here is the recipe for the homemade oreos. Sorry about that. We will try and get the oreo post fixed soon. Ingredients 15 ounces devils food cake mix 2 eggs 3/4 cup shortening 1/2 cup butter ( softened ) 1/4 cup milk 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract 4 cups Powdered Sugar Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together cake mix, eggs and shortening until well combined. The dough will be pretty thick. Roll dough into balls, making sure they are all similar in size. Place dough onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Immediately transfer cookies to a cooking rack. Mix together butter, milk, vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread onto cooled cookies and sandwich together. Servings: 24

    Does All Vegetable shortening work?
31. Cyd says:

    We used regular white Crisco. Regular or butter flavor should be fine. The butter flavor will add more of a butter flavor to the cookies.
