Pretty, delicious and chocolatey! Those are the words that perfectly describe this easy, quick and fun Homemade Oreo Cookies! After biting into the crunch, you can taste the sweet and creamy homemade filling that takes this Oreo cookie to a whole new level!
I grew up loving Oreo Cookies! I was not a fan of the cream, but the cookies were very tasty. I actually had a lot of fun making these cookies especially using the heart-shaped cookie cutters! Hopefully, I will get to use more cookie cutters throughout the year!
This cookie was chewier than an Oreo cookie, however, one way to make it not chewy is to make the cookies thinner and bake for 16 minutes.
Tips on How to Make Homemade Oreo Cookies:
- Before mixing the dry ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking soda, and brown sugar, sift them individually. This easy but very important step would make your cookies nice and evenly textured. It wouldn’t be fun biting into a lump of flour in between 🙂
- You can use a round cookie cutter in cutting the Oreo Cookies if you don’t have the heart-shaped ones.
- Wrap these cookies and tie with a beautifully-colored ribbon to give as a holiday or Valentine’s day present. I am sure the receiver will love it!

If you’ve tried this or any other of my recipes, don’t forget to rate the recipe and to leave me a comment. I love hearing from you!
Mine came out brown, probably because of different type of cocoa, and I made them quite thin, and first batch was a bit burned, so decided to bake them for about 7-8 mins at 160C. Tastes good, and looks cute, even with my homemade card-foil cutter haha
Hi Gabriele,
Yes, if you don’t use Dark Cocoa unsweetened powder it will be brown. Well good to know if the cookie is thinner it needs to be baked for about 7-8 minutes! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
