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
