We ate some homemade Oreos at a family gathering that were so good! I wanted to make my own, but since most recipes call for a chocolate cake mix, I set out to make one from scratch. This is the result of all of our efforts! We think they’re well worth the effort! –Mellyn 

Yield: About 2 dozen filled cookies

The Cookie:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar

1. Combine all dry ingredients and blend until well combined.
2. Add oil, water and egg. Mix.
3. Drop by the teaspoonful onto a cookie sheet. (I use a small cookie scoop for this)
4. Flatten with the bottom of a glass, dipped in flour.

6. Cool and fill with “oreo” filling, below.
