Steps:
- Line 13x9-inch pan with foil. Spray with cooking spray.
- In 4-quart microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High about 1 minute or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to coat. Microwave about 2 minutes, stirring after each minute, until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended. Add cereal; mix well.
- Spoon cereal mixture into pan. Spray hands with cooking spray, and press mixture firmly in pan. Cover with waxed paper; press second 13x9-inch pan on top to compress bars. Remove pan and paper. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Remove bars from pan; peel off foil. Using sharp knife, cut bars into 8 rows by 6 rows to make 48 squares. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper.
- In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave 12 oz of the chocolate and 1 tablespoon of the shortening uncovered on High 1 minute 30 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth. Using 2 forks, dip and roll each cereal square in coating. Place on cookie sheet.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate and butter for the best flavor. You can also use different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, to create different variations of the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking Oreo cookies is 350°F (175°C). Baking the cookies at a lower temperature will make them soft and chewy, while baking them at a higher temperature will make them crispy.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so it's important to let them cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
Oreo cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a sweet snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own delicious Oreo cookies at home. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
