Homemade Oreos

I’m so excited for you guys to try these homemade Oreos!!!! These have a little twist though. No, not just the adorable heart shape. The cookies have a bit of cinnamon in them making them officially Mexican Hot Chocolate Oreos. My oldest, little monkey told me that they are better than Oreos! That’s seriously like winning an award. This little guys is picky. Not just, no eating vegetables, but he is even picky about the kind of dessert he eats. So you can be sure that these homemade Oreos are better, even with the change.

I HAD to make a cute heart shaped cookie for Valentine’s Day. I love these, my family loves these and I know you’ll love these Homemade Oreos!
