2. Raw Oreos:
Love Oreos? Ever thought of making it at home rather than going and buying them and that too within 1 hour of preparation time? Lets see on a recipe that gives you the best taste of raw Oreos with all the ingredients that are easily available. We will need (for 35 cookies):
Ingredients for the FILLING:

Now remove the parchment paper from the top and take a small round cookie cutter and start cutting out as many round cookies as it can (here, approx 70 pieces would come out). Make sure the pieces are even in number.
