Double stuff your creme sandwich cookie and give it a jolt.  Good for on the go when you can't have that coffee in your lap and need that afternoon pick-me-up.  Coffee and a cookie all in one self-contained unit.

CAUTION: May be addictive. Caffeine in any quantity can lead to severe reactions or abuse. Kids, don't try this at home, school, minimum wage part-time job, etc.

Oreo is a registered trademark product of a giant master baking corporation.  Product used here is the generic brand from my local supermarket because I am a cheapskate frugal dad.

This is more hack your cookie than making the cookie from scratch.  I am more a roasting and grillin' guy, ok, frying so I really don't do dessert baking.

Grab a package of Oreos or similar double-sided cookie with creme stuffing in the middle. Would even work with Vanilla Wafers but then I would have to come up with another punny name.

You will need:

Instant coffee - whatever brand you like, there is espresso powder also

Non-dairy creamer powder - any flavor - not really necessary but can add bulk and flavor to the mix

Confectioners sugar ( castor sugar in the UK?)   - this is the fine stuff mistaken for that other stuff, do not inhale

Shortening - lard-like substance made by various industrial edible oil cracking processes

G'day
In the UK and in Australia, (where I am) confectioners sugar is called Icing Sugar. There are two kinds.. Icing sugar (has a bit of cornflour added to it) and Pure Icing Sugar (which, duh, is pure sugar).
Yeah, don't ask me why.
We also don't generally do 'creamers'..if you want cream in your coffee..you use real cream...from a cow. But mostly, people just use milk...yes, from a cow.
Otherwise they drink it black.
I have TRIED to find dairy free creamer for recipes over hear..yeah..still looking.
So not sure what substitute you could use for that, cos its a tad more difficult than the whole confectioners sugar thingy. Powdered product for very very wet one...hmmm.
Oh..and one other tip, is that UK and Australia don't do really do Crisco either (well, I've never seen it here)..but we DO have this awesome stuff called Copha, which is a vegetable (coconut) shortening. Which I am TOLD you can get over in the states at Wholefoods if you are lucky.
Anyways, I share all this intercontinental knowledge with you, as you made reference to Caster Sugar. Caster sugar is actually what Wikipedia tells me you guys call superfine white sugar.

Ooo this Copha stuff sounds interesting. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it.

Gonna try it both ways! Thanks for the recipe, the coffee sounds like what I need on long drives. Also has me wondering what else I could hide in that oreo.

Sounds good! Wondering about scraping the filling into a bowl, jazzing it up with coffee, maybe a little liquid to soften it enough, and refilling the cookies. I think Ill try that, too.

Or, (if one is willing to devote a little more time), one could (1) deconstruct the premade cookies, (2) scrape the filling in a bowl, (3) incorporate the coffee flavoring into the filling by smooshing & mixing -- sorry, don't have any ideas regarding quantities here, then (4) sandwich a glob of the newly flavored filling back between 2 cookies. Coffee & chocolate, YUM!

When you said coffee crystals all I could think about was the Chris Farley hidden camera sketch
