Andrew and I were at walmart a few weeks ago and they had Oreos with Peppermint filling. We broke down and bought a package of them and they were sooo good. As I was eating them, I thought to myself, I have an easy recipe for Homemade oreos, but why don't I put crushed candy canes in the frosting. So, today my boys and I attemted it and they turned out yummy.

Homemade Oreos
1 packages Devil's Food Cake Mixes
4 Eggs
1 Cup Shortening
Combine shortening and eggs and then add the cake mixes. This mixture will be very thick. Roll into balls and put on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degress for 8-12 minutes. (Makes about 4-5 dozen.
Put icing between two cookies and enjoy!
Frosting
For the frosting, you can use any kind you like. Today I used Melissa's Fluffy Frosting Recipe. Which is:
½ c. margarine softened (Blue Bonnet is best and don’t sub butter)
½ c. Crisco (not the buttered flavored & Crisco is the best
Beat the above ingredients until very creamy; then add:
4 ½ c. powdered sugar
5-7 Tbs milk
1 tsp vanilla
Beat together until creamy.
I then crushed up 4 candy canes and stirred into the frosting. It was very yummy this way, but I want a little more of the peppermint flavoring so I am going to go to the store today and buy some and add it in.

I'm sure that 1/4 t. of peppermint extract would do the trick....you are smart to make your own! I use this cookie recipe to make ice cream sandwiches. The cookies stay chewy and don't get rock hard.
Yes! Chocolate and peppermint. My favorite!
