So, today is a BIG day for my family. It marks a huge milestone for us. I know I haven’t shared anything personal here before but today is an exception 😉

Today my twin sons turn one year old!!
It certainly is cause for celebration – especially after all we went through to have them. They are miracles. Fact.
Of course in the midst of all the partying, I am weepy because my boys are no longer the ity bity tiny babies they were when we brought them home from the hospital. Time sure moved at warp speed this past year! I have loved every snuggle, every kiss, every nap with both babes on my chest, every new discovery, every adorable coo, every waking and sleeping hour – even at 2, 4, and 5 a.m. – I have honestly loved every precious minute!!

I thought these sprinkly homemade oreos were appropriate to share on this occasion. Maybe I will share their cakes in a later post. These are not an exact replica of an oreo (not quite as crumbly), but they’re pretty close. Everyone who tried them gave the thumbs up!

Celebration Oreos
by: Back For Seconds
   For the cookie

  • 10 Tbs butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the filling

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375*
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and cocoa, mixing well. Slowly add in the flour, salt, soda, and baking powder. Mix until well incorporated. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet, pressing down slightly on each mound of dough. Bake about 8-9 minutes and let cool completely on wire rack.
For the filling:
In a mixer beat together butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth. Spoon filling onto half of the cookies and top with the remaining cookies. Roll in sprinkled if desired. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
And now LET’S PARTY!!!!!
Since this party is so new, I would be over the moon thrilled if you would help me spread the word! A party isn’t a party without all of you! Invite your friends – tweet, facebook, blog, instagram your besties and tell them the Back For Seconds Social is where it’s at! You guys rock!

    Those look really yummy. I never got to try the dang birthday oreos because for some reason they didn’t have them in any of the stores up here :'( I’m sure they won’t have the candy corn ones either! GRRR.

    Happy Birthday to your little guys! Oreos are pretty much a staple in my house; I have to try and make my own one day soon. I wish I had a recipe to share today. I havn’t posted a recipe in what feels like an eternity. Hopefully next week I’ll be back!

    Congratulations!
    I love homemade Oreos (I always make them at home) and I actually make mines with white chocolate ganashe (instead of buttercream)
    Thanks for another party

    Yum! I’m about to go to the cupboard and get some oreos now. But I could sure go for one of these! My brothers are twins. You have many years of double birthday parties ahead of you 🙂

    Happy Birthday X & K! I’m so happy and excited for you, even if it’s kind of bittersweet that they’re growing up. But with you as their mama, I know they’ll grow into awesome young men! BTW, these Oreos are awesome! Love the sprinkles of course 🙂
