Homemade Oreo Cakesters

Homemade Oreo Cakesters! It took me a while to figure out that even though butter makes everything taste better it doesn’t necessarily make things look pretty.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the best tasting food, but no matter how good it tastes, you’re less likely to eat it if it doesn’t look delicious! So to make my cookies more puffy I found out that you need to use shortening and a little cake flour. Here is how to make these delicious cookies!!

Hi Kimberley and Cassie,
I don't people saw this at the party because you linked to your main site and not the post. I took the time to search for it. These remind me of woopie pies. I'm going to give your recipe a shout out! Hope to see you again this week at the party. Theresa @DearCreatives

Thanks for the shout out!!

No way, yum! My mom would LOVE these.

Stopping by from Our Sunday Best Showcase at A Pretty Little Life, and I'm glad I did 🙂
Have a great evening!

I had to come check out your Oreo recipe when I saw it on Sweet and Savoury Sunday because it gave me some nastalga. I made something like this years ago when I was in Girl Scouts! Thanks for sharing the recipe and thanks for the trip down memory lane! HUGS

They look great and so chocolatey. Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sundays, stop by and link up again this weekend.

That's so cool! I love oreo cakesters, and these look so good.

Yummy! These look super delicious! They wouldn't last long in my house.

These look very very dangerous but what's life w/out a little risk. Wanted to let you know these will be this week's chocolate feature at my link party when it opens up tonight.
