HOMEMADE OREO COOKIES!

This comes from www.yourcupofcake.com. Nothing like the tast of homemade knock offs that look even better and tastier than the store bought brand.

Homemade Oreos

The Story:

I will try desserts that I have at parties, and think to myself “I can make this better.” Is that bad? Maybe. Or maybe it’s just a sign of an obsessive baker.

The first time I had these, they were good. But the cookies were over baked and the filling had way too much sugar. Now, they are fabulous.

This recipe is so easy and always gets rave reviews. I once had a friend ask for a cake-sized Oreo as her birthday cake. I always love a challenge.

If you love Oreos, you will think these are the Oreos from heaven.

If you want to make the cookie look a little classier, you can just top a single cookie with the filling, and place a raspberry or slice of strawberry on top.

Cookies:

1 Devils Food Cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup oil

Filling:

4 oz cream cheese

¼ cup butter

1 ½ cups powder sugar*

½ teaspoon vanilla

Yield: 24 cookies, 12 sandwiches

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix Devil’s food cake mix, eggs, and oil together. The dough will be very thick.

3. On a greased cookie sheet or on parchment paper, place dough balls about the size of a golf ball. You will need to make sure they are round and then pat them down with your fingers.

4. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Wait until just after they start to “crack” on the top.

5. Let cool on sheet for 2-3 minutes and then remove.

6. Filling: Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add vanilla. Add as much powdered sugar as desired.

7. Refrigerate filling in Tupperware or in a piping bag until firm and cookies are cooled.

8. Frost cookies and make into sandwiches.

9. Refrigerate cookies for at least 2 hours and serve chilled. Trust me, this makes them much better.

*I don’t measure my powdered sugar, I just taste test while I put it in. So depending on if you want the filling to taste more like cream cheese or sugar, adjust your amount.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason. As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake. Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp

So here's a little something to thing about for next year. Before you know it December will be here again. You could also do something like this for an Easter theme. Enjoy! A Merry Welcome! So here is my first Christmas project for the year!! I saw something similar at our church's Advent celebration & pretty much straight up copied it. I couldn't help it. It was love at first sight! I plan to make a 2nd stack to go on the other side of my door, so I'm not completely done, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. I started with 3 different sized boxes...9, 12 & 14 inch cubes. I used an ice pick to punch holes in each of them so that I could run
