I LOVE LOVE LOVE to make homemade presents - birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, you name it, I want to make a homemade present for whomever we are celebrating. I get teased sometimes about being a Martha Stewart-in-training (I am not so pleased with this) - I just think homemade presents mean a lot more than something plucked off a shelf. That being said, when the Student Government Executive Team decided to have a Secret Santa gift exchange, I thought I would whip up some cookies or brownies, because who doesn't enjoy some sweets the week before finals? But with so many recipes I have been wanting to try, how was I going to decide which one to choose?! I instead went with an oldie but a goodie, and landed on a homemade Oreos recipe that I've used before and turned out beautifully.

| I am one of the messiest bakers I know - good think I have patient roomies that tend to avoid the kitchen when I am in there! |

| Beginning the frosting process - which is much more fun whilst listening to Christmas carols! |
 |
| The stovetop is not just for cooking anymore... |
 |
| Oreos galore! |

| Finished homemade Oreos! My Secret Santa was oh so surprised! |
For all of you battling finals this week or next, good luck, and treat yourself with a baked goodie when you get A's on all your exams, papers, and projects!
Oh, YUM. Do you mind sharing the recipe?
ReplyDeleteSure! I used this recipe. Happy baking!
