Why Choose This Recipe

  • Easy as my Carrot Cake Oreos
  • Highly addictive!
  • Minimal ingredients

Ingredient Notes

  • Cake Mix- both "pudding in the mix" and regular cake mixes work.
Ingredients for homemade oreo cookies.

Step by Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, butter, and eggs together well.
  • This is easier to do with a mixer because this dough is thick and kind of "gummy". It will take a minute for all the cake mix to be incorporated in.

  • Scoop out by ½ tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. I usually can get 20 on a pan.
  • Bake at 350 for 7 minutes.
  • Cool completely before frosting.

  • Add the vanilla and powdered sugar.
  • Beat until completely combined.

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

How long are these good for?

These should be good for up to a week in the fridge however, in my house they are devoured within a couple days.

Is there enough liquid in this dough?

Yes. This cookie dough is very thick and kind of "gummy". It also takes a little work to get all the cake mix to mix in which makes it seem like there isn't enough liquid in this recipe but there is. It just takes a little longer to get it to mix together.
