Homemade Oreos

I just made this recipe for homemade oreos from smitten kitchen, http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/05/my-kingdom-for-a-glass-of-milk/, and they were PRETTY GOOD! I can't lie and say they taste exactly like oreos because the cookie isn't as crispy, maybe because I made my cookie a little bigger than an actual oreo wafer, uncooked they were about the size of an oreo but they grew to be about twice that big while baking. If they were smaller perhaps they would have gotten crispier in the 9 minute baking time? Anyway, I liked them alot, I used non-hydrogenated organic vegetable shortening for the filling, no butter. I'll definitely be making these again, I love quick, easy recipes like this!
