Holy crap, these are delicious. I couldn't stop snitching the dough...! The filling reminds me of my family's recipe for whoopie pies (well, the filling, I mean), except that it also has a couple raw eggs that give a unique richness. I doubled the cookie recipe, one-and-a-halfed the filling, and still had filling left over. I should have been more generous! By the way, I'm taking half the batch to a local restaurant where we are semi-regulars. They are always so good to us, so I want to thank them.

I know the first way if used for measuring flour, but I'm not sure when it comes to powered sugar?

Anyway, I'm not sure I made this right. I liked it okay, but I don't think it was all that "light & fluffy." It tasted almost exactly like Wilton's buttercream frosting recipe, but a bit heavier - probably because Wilton's recipe uses a bit of meringue powder & an you thin it with water for spread- ability. The recipe batch is smaller, but with almost identical proportions & is made in the same manner. It also uses only shortening instead of the butter/shortening mix, but again it didn't really taste any different and it seemed odd that an Oreo-like filling should be so yellow from the butter. Anyone, please let me know, if you think they know if I something (and what it was) wrong?

As soon as I started reading your entry I CRACKED up - I, too, have had the misfortune of Opryland - not once but scarily twice. I have never been so happy to see a bagel as when those two conferences were over. Ugh. Miracle that we didn't get scurvy. My kids wanted to make homemade oreos over the break.

What have I done? People are reportedly seeing deities upon consumption and demand is high. Also: Rolled out the wafer dough to a quarter inch and cut 'em out instead of spooning as I was using standard Hersheys powder. No puffiness to report! Perfect shape.
