I remember watching a Mythbusters or similar show that concluded that the time out of the milk after dipping is more important than the time in the milk. I’ve been doing that ever since, one dip than 5 seconds out then dip again and 5 seconds out again and it’s perfect every time.
Other people have given me a hard time for using that as the metric for when they’re done. It’s not my fault they interpret it as me drowning the cookie.
I’m surprised Oreo hasn’t done a Halloween ad campaign about how people eat their cookies: Hold it under until the bubbles stop, twist its head off, eat it in tiny nibbles.
I like to bite off just a little of the top and bottom of the sandwich cookie to aid in airflow/flooding, since the baked finish is sometimes nearly air tight.
In Finland we have a “local Oreo” called Domino. Oreo always had this mythical reputation as a famous american cookie almost no one had tasted. Then Oreos came to the stores here for the first time so I naturally bought a pack to try them out. I never bought another one. Those are incredibly dry and dull tasting compared to the Domino cookies I’m used to.
Yeah in the UK, Oreos are the lowest common denominator too. You’d have to finish the custard creams, bourbons, fly cemeteries and the dusty old packet of pink wafers you inherited when your gran died before you’d consider an Oreo
Exactly, you wait until you feel it just starting to dissolve under your fingers and then try to pull it out fast and gentle. If you are in any way slightly wrong it’s gone
Also, my favorite cookie/biscuit used to be Mother’s Taffy sandwich cookies, but then they went out of business, got bought out, brought back, and ruined by completely changing the recipe. Pretty sure the new recipe is just cardboard pulp and reclaimed wastewater.
I’m one of those monsters that don’t usually eat oreos.
Never saw the appeal - I prefer sweeter, chocolate or strawberry-flavoured sandwich cookies instead. (Kind of weird given that I tend to gravitate towards bitter food.)
