How to make oreo cookies:

Filling:1 envelope unflavored gelatin1 lb. plus 1 c. powdered sugar1 tsp. vanilla1 c. Crisco1/4 c. cold water Blend all cookie dough ingredients together until you can shape the dough into a smooth ball. Let it stand 20 minutes, loosely covered. Form dough into marble-sized balls. Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.

Flatten each with smooth bottom of a drinking glass greased once and dipped into sweetened chocolate drink powder. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes. Remove cookies at once from baking sheet, to paper toweling and flatten each cookie with back of pancake turner. Let cool 20 minutes. Fill with cookie filling mixture.

Cookie Filling: Soften gelatin in cold water. Place heatproof cup in pan of hot water until gelatin is transparent. Meanwhile beat Crisco until fluffy, adding vanilla and sugar a little at a time. Beat in gelatin mixture when it is completely cooled, but not yet "set" or firm. This is used to give the filling stability as well as protein! When cooled, shape filling into 1-inch balls. Place between the two bottom sides of the cooled cookies, pressing gently until filling has spread to edge of cookies and rounded out like the originals.

This is a close imitation version of the original Oreos.
