How to Make Homemade Oreo Cookies

Whether you’re a dunker, as twister or a just-get-in-my-belly-er, Oreo cookies are a beloved treat among both kids and adults alike. While they’re great out of the package, did you know these delectable little sandwiches are pretty easy to make at home?

Simple, delicious and fun, this homemade Oreo recipe makes more topping than you’ll need for a box of chocolate wafer cookies, but you can use the leftovers as a dip for fruit or frosting for cupcakes (though we both know you’ll probably eat it plain #nojudgement).

Ingredients

1 cup mascarpone cheese

1/2 cup confectioners sugar

1 box chocolate wafer cookies

Recipe Notes

• *If you want to get fancy, I suppose you could use a pastry bag here instead, but I say it’s not worth all the trouble.
• Cookies get crumbly after too much time in the fridge. Don’t assemble too far in advance.
