Did you know that Oreo cookies are the number one brand of cookies sold across the world? Oreos are more preferred than the cherished chocolate chip cookie, making the Oreo the Beyonce of the cookie world and demoting the sad faced chocolate chip cookie to Justin Bieber status.
Oreos have been around for over 100 years and though there have been some changes, such as replacing pig lard with vegetable fat, the American Oreo has stayed rather true to its origins. Other countries have made the Oreo their own, creating far-out flavors us Americans might balk at. For instance, you can find green-tea flavored Oreos in Japan and orange ice-cream flavored filling in Indonesia.
Oreos are so popular in fact, you can find several personality tests online which determine your personality based on how one consumes a cookie. If you twist your Oreo, one test declares you are a curious person. If you eat your cookie one bite at a time, you are considered normal. If you dunk your cookie in milk, then you are a gold medalist in the bedroom. Ok, I made the last one up, but you catch my drift.
My favorite cookie is the less loved chocolate chip cookie, however, Oreos are a close second. My grandpa used to serve Oreo cookies and milk to me every day after school. Not a bad way to end your school day if you ask me. It certainly didn’t solve my problems, like the time I split my pants at school (damn Cavariccis) but I looked forward to having a treat and I knew it made my grandfather happy to spoil me a little bit.
Though this recipe is easy and straightforward, it is time consuming. These Oreos will taste better than the kind you find in a box, as most things made from scratch are better. With that said, they are only slightly better, so if you would rather spend your evening counting how many times Bethenny rolls her eyes on the Real Housewives of New York, by all means buy a box of Oreos instead. On the other hand, if you want to impress your friends, they will surely marvel at your culinary capabilities at first bite.
Enjoy!
