PetitePeas: Did you let the filling set up before you used it? That helped me. It was still pretty loose when I used it, but I put the oreos in the fridge for an hour or so after I filled them and that helped them set up completely. Let me know if this works.

Hi, I just ate a TKO from Bouchon Bakery in Yountville and decided to make a batch for an encore.
For some reason, my filling has the color and texture of condensed milk, i.e ivory and gooey, thick and sticky. The one I ate at Bouchon is definitely more of an Oreo filling texture.
Did I not whip it enough? Any recommendations?

I made Oreos only once before (I am a weird one who gets lazy and make macarons instead). I bet they were tasty!

They look delicious! TKOs are the only Oreos I like. but I also love Bouchon Bakery macarons. The caramel ones are amazing.

Those look so good, and just by looking at them I imagine they taste even better than the original. I’m marking this one to try!

Patricia: Yes, that's the other recipe I saw floating around (right?). I went with this one because I try to avoid shortening, but I bet the one you made taste closer to traditional oreos. Amanda: Too weird! Your trip sounds amazing. Mandy: My apologies! I can't even say I wish I could send you a leftover, because they have long since been gobbled up. Michelle: I had a Thomas Keller snafu of my own. These oreos were much gentler and kinder. Joe: Thank you!
