Nosheteria was craving some Oreo cookies and happened to stumble upon Wayne Harley Brachman's cookbook Retro Desserts, which contains a recipe for homemade Oreo cookies. I happen to love my copy of his cookbook and have made homemade graham crackers and other goodies on many occasions. I have not tried these chocolate sandwich cookies, but I definitely will now. Nosheteria says that the cookies taste surprisingly similar to - if not better than - the original Oreos. They are crisp, with just the right amount of delicious vanilla cream filling. I recommend picking up a copy of the book, but the recipe is posted online, too.

This will be fun because when my children were young and I was a sales manager for Tupperware at one of our large gatherings a great mananger said, "hey don't worry if you can't find time to bake cookies for the kids, just put the Oreo's on a warm cookie sheet and place them on a cooling rack and let the kids think you made them!" I DID! It work for more years than you would think. My son, who would always ask a lot of questions, would just once and a while ask how I got the cookie cutter to press the logo and make them look just the same! I would just tell him that moms have their ways! The girls were just happy to get the cookies because sweets were a treat! What fun we all have laughing about that to this day and now I DO have the recipe! Now if I can just get that "special" cookie cutter!

The cookie is a little lighter and airier than the real Oreo (I like it better, actually), but the filling is right on! My recommendation is to use a real measuring teaspoon to scoop out the dough, so that the cookies are as close to the same size as possible--it makes it easier to match them up when you are making the sandwiches. Also, I didn't have any parchment paper, and they turned out just fine anyway.
