Oreo cookies
Chocolate sandwich cookies with a sweet white cream filling. Used whole, crushed, or blended as often as they're eaten plain. Crushed, they make a no-bake crust or topping without needing a food processor if you crush them in a bag.
Used for
- no-bake crusts
- milkshakes
- cheesecake toppings
- ice cream mix-ins
In the kitchen
- Crush in a sealed bag with a rolling pin for a quick crust.
- Pulse in a food processor for a finer crumb.
- Scrape out the cream filling first if a recipe wants just the chocolate wafer.
Picking it at the store
- Store-brand chocolate sandwich cookies work fine and cost less for crushed applications like crusts, where the brand name doesn't matter.
- Double Stuf adds extra filling that can make a crust too sweet or greasy. Plain Oreos measure more predictably.
