What could be better than homemade oreos?  Not much, except peppermint homemade oreos!

Peppermint Homemade Oreos - the perfect holiday treat recipe. www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

These cookies would be great for a cookie exchange or neighbor gift. Or for yourself, just because you need a treat to get through the next few crazy weeks…. Because yum- peppermint!  I’m not normally a huge peppermint fan except when the holidays come around.  Maybe it’s because peppermint ice cream hits the shelves?  Mmmmm… so good.  And you can make this easy peasy 3 Ingredient Frozen Peppermint Pie recipe with that ice cream too.   But let’s get back to the homemade oreos..

Peppermint Homemade Oreos - the perfect holiday treat recipe thirtyhandmadedays.com

For you non-chocolate fans out there: (I am not a chocolate fan- can we still be friends?) I decided to make a vanilla version. Instead of using devil’s food cake, I used a yellow cake mix.  They taste sorta similar to Trader Joe’s vanilla jo jo’s.  Peppermint Homemade Oreos - the perfect holiday treat recipe from www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

The version shown here is with devil’s food cake, but the yellow cake mix turned out awesome!  You can smash up candy canes and roll the edges into them to make them prettier.

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time8 mins
Total Time18 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Peppermint Oreos
Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 546kcal
Author: Mique Provost

Ingredients

Cookie

  • 15.25 oz devil's food cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ c shortening

Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ c butter (½ stick), softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp peppermint (not mint)
  • 4 c powdered sugar

Instructions

Cookie

  • Mix together.
  • The dough will be pretty stiff - it's supposed to be that way.
  • Roll into balls and put on baking sheet.
  • Make them little balls (like 1").They cook more evenly that way.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer to a cooling rack.

Frosting

  • Mix until smooth.

Assembly

  • When cookies are cool, frost them and then sandwich them like an Oreo.
  • This will only make about 12 cookies total depending on how big you make them.

Notes

If you'd rather make traditional oreos, omit the peppermint and add another tsp of vanilla instead.

    Do you have to use shortening? I try to avoid it… would butter or something similar work just as well? Love peppermint oreos! Can’t wait to try.

    I love the Oreo Truffle treats. They are super easy but do take a little time to form into balls. http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/easy-oreo-truffles-95085.aspx I like to make them with either mint oreos or mint chocolate on the outside.
