You know those Oreo 'Cakesters'? They are like a cheap knockoff of these cookies. Do you love cake? Yes. Do you love cookies? Yes. Do you love oreos? Yes. Do you love cream cheese? Yes. PERFECT! This is the recipe for you!

  1. Hi Kelsey,
    If you lay half your cookies out (upside down) for frosting, then put your frosting in a cake decorating bag (or heavy ziplock) and cut the corner, you can pipe the filling in just a matter of a few seconds. You could do 24 cookies in about a minute! Top with the remaining cookies to make cookie sandwiches. And they might look a little fancy!! Looks tasty!! Love ya, Laur (Scottie's auntie)
