Oreo Cookie Filling is the best part of the cookie, and I’ve created a spot-on dupe that is super easy to prepare and can be used as a dip for fruit, cookies, and pretzels, or as a cake or homemade cookie filling too!
If you love no-bake dessert dips as much as we do around here, you’re going to want to try my irresistible cheesecake dip and this creamy cannoli dip next!
Why You’ll Love Oreo Cookie Filling
This seems like an unbelievably silly question. Isn’t the filling the best part of the Oreo? Anyhow, I created this recipe WAY back in 2013, and have made it over and over since then, but thought I would update the pictures a bit since I just created a video on TikTok and Instagram highlighting this true masterpiece of a recipe.
- SUPER easy! You’ll have a bowl of Oreo cookie filling in a matter of minutes. All you need is a bowl and a mixer! And a spoon of course to eat!
- Spot On Dupe! I tried lots of variations of this recipe when I created it, and I feel like this is about the closest you can get!
- Versatile! You can of course use this cookie filling as a dip for cookies, pretzels, crackers etc. But you can also use it as a cake filling, a thick spread of frosting, or sandwiched between two cookies of your choice!
Oreo Cookie Filling Ingredients
The full list of ingredients with measurements is at the bottom of this post in the recipe card! The recipe is super easy and comes together quickly with just a hand mixer!
- Vegetable Shortening. I know, I know, this is one of those ingredients I try to avoid, but in efforts to create a real “dupe” I had to use it. You can absolutely use all butter in place of the shortening, but you won’t get the same exact taste.
- Butter. I used salted butter in this recipe. You can skip this and use all shortening if you prefer, as I believe that true Oreo filling doesn’t include real butter, but all shortening left a strange film in my mouth that I was able to avoid with the balance of butter. Plus, it just tastes good!
- Vanilla extract. Just a tiny bit to give it some flavor!
- Granulated Sugar. Just a tablespoon extra of granulated sugar added in to the filling gives it the slightest texture that I feel like matches the original cookie filling!
- Powdered Sugar. Powdered sugar (or confectioners sugar) creates a smooth, creaminess while sweetening.
- Hot Water. You need to add some water to smooth and thin out the filling! Using hot water ctreates instant creaminess.
How To Make Oreo Cookie Filling
This really couldn’t be easier. Simply all you do is add all the ingredients into a large bowl and use your electric mixer to mix it until smooth and creamy!
How To Use Oreo Cookie Filling
Obviously eating this with a spoon is an option, but here are a few more uses for your cookie filling:
- Sandwiched between 2 homemade cookies. This would be so good in between 2 Snickerdoodles!
- As a cake filling. How good would this be as a filling to my perfect chocolate cake?
- On a dessert board surrounded by pretzels, graham crackers, and fruit as a dip!
I created this recipe back in 2013 and have updated the images and helpful tips in 2025.

Although I tend to lean towards the normal sized filling Oreos, I can just imagine all delicious things to dip into this!
Brilliant and very clever.
What a great and different filling for my woopie pies :}
thank you

I made this last night because I have no self control or restraint and figured that a cold Tuesday night was enough of an occasion for such a treat. Umm, YOU’RE MY HERO. My family was A-Mazed by this. And I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t really think to buy anything to dunk it in so sure enough we ate it…with a spoon. Not my finest moment. So good and simple and had everything on hand, well, except for dipping vessels but those are overrated anyway.
haha! That is hilarious.. yes, dipping vessels are way over rated 🙂
I did pick up some dipping vessels last night, mini Oreos which really are basically tiny cookie chips with no filling, so it provided the freedom to completely load it up with this dip. It was fabulous but I still almost prefer the spoon method. :)Also, I shared some at work today and basically my picture was put up on the wall immediately naming me Employee of the Year. 🙂 This just may be my favorite recipe of yours EVER and I have made and loved ALOT of them.
I’m gonna put this on toast
and eat it for
breakfast!
Hi,
Is there any alternative to vegetable shortening?
Ha! I love the shot of the triple decker oreo, that’s how I used to eat them too the filling was the best part.
Oh my! The consistency looks PERFECT! You rock! (=
This is pretty simple and fun.
I would love to try this for my nephews. They will surely love this cookie fiiling.
You’re a genius! And we’re so a filling household too! I’d be right there with your husband and son lol. Love that cookie pic.
This sounds sooooooooo good, will definitely have to try it. Would love to know where you got the adorable jar to put it in?
