oreos!

in our house we always have a steady supply of cookies & cream ice cream in our freezer. along with that we've been known to have some of my oreo cupcakes laying around from time to time (oreo cookie on the bottom, white cake with oreo pieces and white oreo frosting on top - heavenly!). it is my philosophy that anything with oreos cannot possibly be not delicious.

so it will come as no surprise that we attempted homemade oreos last night. last week sus and i came home having printed out the exact same recipe at work. if that's not a sign then i don't know what is. i remember doing a quick scan of the ingredients and noticing that we have everything in our normal baking arsenal. so last night, with nothing better to do we set out to make some oreos.

really they're quite easy to make. i made the dough in our stand mixer and baked the cookies while susie whipped up the frosting (and got a little arm workout in the process). after they were sufficiently cool we blobbed (official recipe term!) some icing between two cookies and devoured them. maybe next time we'll have to brand them with our names instead of "oreo."
