Homemade Oreos 5You've heard me say it more than once.  I love making cookies for the neighborhood kids.  It's easy to do since they are out and about, running past my dining room window every day.  They even sometimes knock on my door asking for cookies (and popsicles) and it breaks my heart when I have to say "no".  The other moms reassure me that it's okay to not give their kids treats every day... but deep down I know I would if I could and if my pocketbook allowed it.  😉

A few weeks ago I came outside with these homemade Oreos.  I wasn't sure how the kids would receive them, since they weren't the "real deal".  But, they knew what to do with them right away, pulling apart the sandwiched rounds and licking the center cream first thing.  I chuckled inside, thinking how cool it was that these kids were enjoying my homemade version just as much as the ever-so-popular store-bought.

Homemade Oreo Kids 2These come together easily with the homemade chocolate wafers you saw posted here last week, then a quick buttercream filling sandwiched in between.  If you want softer cookies, place them in the fridge for about an hour before serving.

Homemade Oreo KidsMy heart is overfilled with joy when I get to share my creations with these precious friends of Judah's.  When we move out of this townhome community, I will miss doing this.  When we start shopping for a house, my first question will be "are there kids in the neighborhood who like cookies?"  Sounds creepy, but I promise I'm not an over-weight greasy and lonely old man asking that question.  :p
