How we spent our 4th....
We drove my parents convertible in the 4th of July parade, handing out candy to the kiddos!
Josh ate sparklers for dinner. :D
I made homemade Oreos. They were good. Very good. My brothers said so...and that my dear friends, is quite the compliment coming from them. ;-) Homemade oreos are now a favorite.
I found this recipe, and made some changes to fit our tastebuds... :) LOVE that blog!

Homemade Oreos!
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons Hershey's Baking Cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 Cups Sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1 large egg
The Filling
1/2 Cup of butter or margerine
1/1/2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat to 375°F. Mix dry ingredients until blended, adding softened butter and egg until a thick dough forms. Spoon dough onto cooking sheet 1-2 inches apart. Drop by the teaspoon. Bake 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely.
Mix butter sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Chill in fridge.
Once the cookies are cool, lather up with filling and make the Oreo sandwich cookies!
These cookies are best kept in sealed container, and dipped in milk!
Enjoy the homeade oreos!

Ohmigosh! HOMEMADE OREOS! I'm ecstatic about the idea. Glad to get the recipe.
Holy Yum! I have eaten many an oreo. I have even eaten them covered in dark chocolate and on vacation this year, I tried them deep fried. Both were delish! But, homemade? Yum!!!
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I am bookmarking this recipe right now!
They look bigger than an "real" Oreo, which could be really bad. ;)
I'm tempted again. Either I stop reading blogs or get rid of my sweet tooth...lol
It's been a l o n g time since I made homemade Oreos. It might be time to try them again.
Ooh I'm a big fan of Oreos! Those look TASTY!
Yummy! I would try them soon but if I hear one more groan from my Wii Fit when I get on...I may just throw it out the window. In the meantime, I have copied and pasted it into my recipe file for a later date!
I found you through the SITS post and can't wait to read more about you and Joshua...I love to know people's love stories so I want to know how you met him!
Love these! BTW, the link to the original recipe isn't working.
Happy SITS Day!
I don't know whether to hate you or love you for this recipe. =)
Stopping in from SITS.
The look unbelievable amazing!
Those look soooooo delicious!
