# Homemade Oreo Cookies Make the Classic Black and White Cookies from Home with This Recipe By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-04-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homemade-oreo-cookies References: [dessertswithbenefits](http://dessertswithbenefits.com/homemade-oreos/) 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](http://dessertswithbenefits.com/homemade-oreos/) 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? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Healthier Homemade Desserts:** Opportunity to create and market homemade versions of classic desserts using healthier ingredients. - **Clean Label Movement:** Potential for brands to develop and promote products that are free of artificial ingredients and additives. - **Alternative Food Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the development of alternative methods and ingredients for food manufacturing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Innovative companies can target the consumer demand for healthier homemade desserts. - **Health and Wellness:** Market opportunity for brands offering clean label products and promoting healthier food choices. - **Food Technology:** Emerging industry focused on alternative food manufacturing methods and ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Novel Cookie Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo.md) - [Iconic Cake-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-blackout-cake-chocolate-sandwich-cookies.md) - [Soft-Baked Free-From Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-chip-cookies.md) - [Sugar-Free Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-zero-sugar.md) - [Dubai Chocolate Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-kunafa-cookie-sandwiches.md) - [Limited-Edition Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-sandwich-cookie.md) - [Bakery-Style Skillet Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-skillet-cookie.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookie-products.md) - [Nutty Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-x-oreo.md)
