Steps
Part 1 of 2: Separating the Two Oreo-Forming Cookies
Step 1. Hold the Oreo correctly
Grip the two halves of the cookie gently but firmly with the fingertips of both hands. The secret is to make a smooth and continuous movement. Don't grab the two cookies too hard and don't move them back and forth at all, otherwise you won't be able to keep the cream layer intact.
- Make sure both your hands and the cookies aren't too hot. If your hands are warm, you will heat the cookies and soften the cream, which will then become more fluid and sticky. A cooled Oreo cookie is more difficult to separate in half.
- Do not hold the biscuit in your hand for too long. The more you hold it in your hand without proceeding to the next step, the more likely you are to warm it up.
Step 2. Start rotating the two biscuits that make up the Oreo
Grabbing one half with each hand, start swirling the cookies smoothly in the opposite direction. Most experts in this technique rotate the half that is in their dominant hand towards their body and simultaneously rotate the non-dominant hand in the opposite direction.
Step 3. Separate the Oreo
As you gently rotate the two cookies, you will hear a delicate sound: you will understand that you can move your hands away to separate them. Try to roll the two cookies gently to prevent the half covered in cream and the half without cream accidentally colliding
Step 4. Admire your Oreo
With the right technique and a little luck, you should have half of the cookie completely free of cream and the other half that is entirely covered with it. If so, you have been successful. If not, don't worry, it just means you need to practice separating (and eating) other Oreo cookies.
Step 5. Eat the Oreo
There is no single correct way to eat an Oreo cookie, just as there are no wrong ways to do it. Now that the cookie is ready, you are free to enjoy it however you like. You can also bring the two halves together proud of your success. Regardless of how you choose to eat it, enjoy the combination of the sweet taste of victory and the delicious crunchiness of the Oreo cookie.
- There are those who love to eat the half covered in cream last, enjoying it in a single bite.
- Another popular choice is to scrape off the cream with your teeth.

Step 3. Dip the Oreos in a batter and fry them
Believe it or not, fried Oreo cookies are the stars of many fairs and festivals. If you like deep-fried pastries, love Oreos and have experience in deep-frying, it's definitely worth a try.
Step 4. Dip the Oreos in melted chocolate or whipped cream
For those with a passion for sweets, Oreo cookies can get even better when dipped in melted chocolate or whipped cream.
Step 5. Crumble the Oreos and incorporate them into your recipes
Some pastry chefs prepare the bottom of cakes and cheesecake with crumbled Oreos. Break the cookies into two or three pieces, place them in a resealable food bag and roll over them several times to crumble them easily.
If you prefer, you can crumble them using the blender, but be careful not to blend them too much. Most recipes call for the cookies to be reduced to coarse crumbs, not powder
