Miss out on facebook.com/nabiscocookies?

Because the facebook.com/nabiscocookies promotion is offering less than a half a million coupons, you may not get one. Plus, using the coupon requires a purchase that could easily add up to $10 or more before you get your “free” cookies. This doesn’t mean you have to miss out, though. You can easily make your own Nabisco-style cookies at home. Rather than using vegetable shortening and sugar as filling in your Oreo-style cookies, you could use buttercream frosting or ice cream. Oreos always sound tasty, but fresh out of the oven, they’re even better. There are entire websites dedicated to re-creating the recipes of commercial products; try this homemade Oreo recipe to get you started.
