Ingredients

For the cookies:

1 15 oz box of Devil’s food cake mix
⅓ cup oil (canola or vegetable)
2 large eggs

For the filling:

⅓ cup butter (softened)
3 oz cream cheese
1.5–2 cups powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp cream or milk

Instructions

Chocolate Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, and eggs. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together until well combined.
Roll the dough into balls, each about 1 tablespoon in size. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets, then gently flatten each one in the center.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the tops of the cookies look set and firm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Filling

In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about ½ cup at a time, until the desired sweetness is achieved.
Stir in the cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches your preferred consistency.
Spread the cream filling on the bottom side of one cookie, then sandwich it with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Notes

Serving Tips

Chill Before Serving: For the best texture, refrigerate the assembled cookies for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and gives the cookies a more firm, satisfying bite.
Pairing Ideas: These homemade Oreos are perfect with a glass of cold milk, but you can also serve them with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for an extra indulgent treat.
Mini Serving Option: For a fun twist, cut the cookies in half to create mini homemade Oreos, perfect for smaller portions or parties.

Storage Tips

Room Temperature: Store your homemade Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Refrigeration: For longer freshness, store the cookies in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Be sure to place a piece of parchment paper between layers of cookies to prevent them from sticking together.
Freezing: You can freeze your homemade Oreos for up to 3 months. Wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
