Homemade Oreos, soooo yummy!

This recipe is so simple and great to bring to a party or just to enjoy at home. People gluten free or not LOVE these! 

Kitchen Oreo

Homemade Oreos:

2 boxes of Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devil Food Cake Mix
1 1/2 cups of Crisco
4 Eggs
Combined all ingredients together and mix until well blended. Roll dough into little balls (about the size of a quarter) and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Let cool.

Filling:
3 cups powder sugar
4oz soften cream cheese (Philadelphia Cream Cheese is gluten free)
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla (McCormick's, Kirkland Brand, Flavorganics, Simply Organic are all gluten free vanilla extracts!)
1/2 cup butter (melted)*
Combine all ingredients and beat well. It's always fun to use a little food coloring** in the filling to make these a festive treat!
After the cookies have cooled, put the filling into the middle of the two cookies and squish together until you have an Oreo! Repeat and enjoy!

*Natural butter is gluten free. Be careful of light butters and margarine as these may contain gluten.
