Give Me Something Good: Homemade Oeros


I've never been much of a baker but when I thifted this old school mixer* I knew it was in my destiny to burn bake...something. In comes these homemade Oeros. I used this simple recipe to create my diet bashing yet glorious snack.
Despite burning half the batch they surprisingly still look great in pictures (take note psuedo-food bloggers*).
AP claims that they were too sweet...I claim he's delusional...but totally awesome.
Just to add, I made the frosting too. I'm obviously way above "the can" stuff now. 
Now that I'm the new Asian Martha Stewart (minus the jail time) I shall be adopting words like confectioners' sugar and room temperature beurre into my everyday speech. 







The good batch

Frosting:
Butter: 1/2 stick
Vegetable shortening: 1/2 stick
Confectioners' sugar: 2 cups
Unbuttoning my pants: priceless
