The perfectly delicious homemade oreo cookie that will have everyone raving!
Oreo cookies are an American icon right up there with apple pie and hot dogs. But who needs all those icky ingredients and chemicals that come with the carefully and attractively packaged cookies from the store. (Although I’ve been known to devour those as well.) But not anymore! These guys here, whipped together with your own ingredients, are soft, melt in your mouth, holy goodness that will want to keep going down one after the other! My husband calls them train cookies because, you know, they keep going down one after the other just like a train. Yeah, I know, Dad jokes! But I think it’s cute.

Instructions
Cookie Dough

- Dough will be a bit sticky. Chill for one hour. If dough is still too sticky, chill another hour..
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll into balls the size of your choice, then flatten slightly with a glass dipped in white sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
Filling
- Mix crisco, milk and powdered sugar well. Then add vanilla and 4 cups marshmallow creme topping. If too thin, add more powdered sugar. It needs to be a bit thicker because of making a sandwich cookie. Put filling between two cookies. Sink your teeth in! Oh yum!
