Homemade Oreo Cookie Ingredients

Cake mix: To make these Oreo cookies at home, you need one 15.25-oz box of chocolate cake mix. Any brand will taste great, use your favorite or whatever you have one hand.

Eggs: Adding in 2 eggs, room temperature, will help bind the dough together well.

Oil: Use ½ cup of vegetable oil to give the dough wonderful moisture and create nice soft cookies.

Cream Cheese Filling

Butter: You need ½ cup of butter, softened to room temperature, to create a wonderfully rich filling.

Cream cheese: Using 8 oz of cream cheese, softened to room temperature, makes the frosting perfectly creamy and delicious.

Vanilla extract: To enhance all the amazing flavors, add in 2 tsp of vanilla extract.

Powder sugar: You will need 4 cups of powdered sugar to make the frosting sweet and smooth!

Oreo cookies: Adding in 5 store-bought Oreo cookies, crushed, into the frosting takes these homemade cookies up a few notches!

How to make Easy Homemade Double Oreo Cookies

Prepare the cookies

Start by preheating the oven to 350℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and set aside.

Next, in a large mixing bowl, mix the cake mix, oil and eggs thoroughly.

Proceed to cover and chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. This is an optional step, but it helps to keep the cookies from spreading too much while baking.

Bake

Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to drop 1 tablespoon sized balls onto the baking sheets. Space them a few inches apart to leave room for the cookies to spread.

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 8-9 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

While the cookies bake, you can prepare the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric handheld mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Then add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Next, add the powdered sugar, a little at a time, and mix again until all the sugar has been combined and the frosting is smooth.

After that, crush the 5 Oreos quite well. Stir them into the frosting.

Assemble

Once the cookies have cooled, you can use a piping bag or an icing spatula and put double the icing on the bottom of a cookie. Then grab another cookie to place on top and you have a cookie sandwich! Repeat with the rest of the cookies.

Serve and enjoy!

Do I have to chill the cookie dough?

When recipes request that you chill your cookie dough it is usually for a good reason. That reason is that the flavor gets a bit more time to develop and the cookies taste even more incredible. But the biggest reason is because of the butter/fats in the dough. By chilling the dough we allow the fats to solidify which means your cookies will not spread out as much while baking, so the texture turns out perfectly. This is especially important on warmer days or when your butter is warm or softened.

HOW LONG ARE THESE COOKIES GOOD FOR?

These cookies will be good for 3-5 days, if stored properly. To keep your treats as fresh as possible they should be kept in an airtight container or a ziplocked bag. A trick I learned to keep them extra fresh and soft is to put a piece of bread in with the cookies. The cookies absorb the moisture from the bread and stay soft and chewy a couple of days longer. Try it, you will be amazed!
