There are few people that can resist the circular black and white cookies (also known as "Milk's Best Friend"), so these homemade Oreo cookies are sure to please those who want to make their own version of the iconic dessert.
What I love about this recipe isn't simply the fact that it is an at-home version of the cookies, but mostly that it's a healthier alternative. The recipe by Jessica over at Desserts With Benefits is free of high-fructose corn syrup and some other ingredients that are more fake than food.
I'm constantly on the hunt for foods that are healthier, can be made at home and don't require strange ingredients you can't pronounce. We're living in a time when we have access to a plethora of knowledge that can help us expand our perception of food, so why not try something a little different?
