Recipe for "oreo middle"-like frosting?

[Anonymous]

I'd like to make some cookie sandwiches but I'm not sure what kind of frosting to have in the middle. All the recipes I've tried are much more fluffy than I think would be good for these sandwiches meant for little mouths. Suggestions? Thanks!

Crisco and powdered sugar.

1/4 c. Softened butter
1/4 c. Shortening
2 t. Vanilla
2 c. Powdered sugar

1/2 C powdered sugar
1/4 C shortening (I use spectrum)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

I wouldn't use butter - it will make the filling too soft. Shortening gives it the right consistency and texture. You could also use the butter flavored shortening.

I make "Oreos" frequently (food allergies) and the above recipe is what I use for the filling. I use the butter flavored Spectrum shortening and they come out great every time. Cookie and fillin recipe that I use is here: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/10/24/healthy-oreos/
