Homemade Oreos

Here's something I never thought I'd try at home: homemade oreos.  Don't they look yummy?

I made them yesterday with my little boy and we had so much fun doing it!  The filling tastes exactly like a store-bought oreo, just creamier.  The cookies have the tiniest hint of saltiness to balance out the super-sweet filling.  If you're in the mood for trying a new sweet recipe, I can highly recommend this one.  One warning, though: these things are pretty addicting.  You may want to make sure your stretchy pants are within reach.

Yum!! I've made a similar recipe (although Smitten Kitchen's is probably better) and they were definitely good. Just out of curiosity, were yours crunchy?

I experimented with a few different sizes and the ones that were smaller (normal oreo-sized) were crunchy. The larger ones (3" diameter) were slightly chewy. If you play with size and baking times I bet you'll be able to get the result you're after.

Wow. Those look good enough to eat! :)
