How do you eat your Oreos?

I have never been a huge fan of chocolate... I know call me crazy. I blame it on originally being from Canada and having relatives send me the most amazing candy. Almost all the candy bars are made with Cadbury chocolate. So when I eat something here in the States and it is all Hershey chocolate, it just doesn't measure up. I also hate hate hate chocolate chips... chocolate cake is okay, I don't mind brownies... but at the end of the day I guess you could say I am a vanilla girl all the way.
Because of this, growing up I would split my Oreos in half and lick the frosting off (well lick isn't the right word... it was more like using my two front teeth and scraping it into my mouth, haha) Then I would discard the Oreo cookie part. But every once in awhile my mother would make homemade Oreo cookies. Now these were Oreos that didn't require me to take the cookie part off... because they were simply amazing. So here you go... my mama's quick and simple recipe for homemade Oreo Cookies! I made a big batch of them for the young primary class that me and Trevor teach at church... they loved them :)
 
OREO COOKIES
3 pkgs Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake mix
6 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
Work together with your hands because it’s too heavy for a blender (but you could with a Bosch or Kitchenaid).  Roll into walnut size balls.  Do not press.  Bake at 375 for 10 – 12 mins.
When you take them out of the oven tap pan on the counter, this will flatten the cookies.  Put two cookies together with the following:

ICING
¼ cup margarine or butter                        
1 – 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
4 cups icing sugar                                     
tsp vanilla
Mix together.  Spread generously.

You can also double the icing recipe if you want more filling in your cookies! --I double mine :)
 Do you think I used enough Pam? HA.
  These are some double stuffed ones :)

    I feel the same way about chocolate! I'd choose vanilla or strawberry shakes any day over chocolate. Yuck. :/ These oreos look amazing!! I should give them a try, and take your advice. :)

    Oh my gosh those sound delicious! I, for one, LOVE chocolate, but I still just scraped the filling out of the oreos, too! Occasionally I would eat the whole thing ;)

    You are crazy :) How could you not like chocolate? Haha.
    I didn't even know you could make homemade oreos. I love the cookies, but not so much the icing. Does it taste lemon? I imagine it does and I do not like lemon-tasting icing. But the cookies are delish.

    Hey--I made these the other night with my husband and they were soo good! Only one thing, we put them in walnut sized balls and they came out HUGE and all connected! We used like acorn size balls to get the size cookie shown in your pictures. We still ate the huge ones though, because they were yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
