I found these via the ice cream sandwich recipe and as soon as I made them they were scooped up and devoured by everyone around me. Cookie dough in a food processor? Brillant and talk about time saving. I made these after work with only an hour and half of free time before heading out and it was mind blowing how quickly they come together. Thank you Deb! OMG.

Trust me, I think about this stuff constantly. (Hate squishy sandwich cookies.)

I've made homemade oreos before and my husband was so "meh" about them because the filling was too much like frosting. He wanted something stiffer. More like the fatty, sugary disk of "frosting" the store-bough oreos have. He wasn't having any of the smooshy frosting. Can you comment on how “stiff” the filling is?

What's great about them is that even though there are two components to making the cookies, the baking part and then the frosting part, it still takes hardly any time at all to make. They taste AMAZING. To use the word Oreo in this name of this cookie is an insult to this delicious perfection. Thank yo so much for sharing.

But baking powder also has cream of tartar in it, an acid that helps activate the leavener. (Straight baking soda, without an acidic ingredient, usually needs an acidic ingredient -- such as the cocoa here -- to activate.) You can make your own baking powder from baking soda using <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/tips/make-your-own-baking-powder/" rel="nofollow">this formula</a>, if you only have baking soda.

And what about the baking powder? In the UK baking powder includes bicarb. A little confused. Thanks Am in the UK and just wanted to check something out on the recipe, when you say:
