A: 3 seconds B: 5 seconds C: up to 10 seconds D: up to 15 seconds E: longer
My choice is E, since 30 seconds introduces the prime ratio of milkiness to flavor.
Stick a fork in the cream, hold it under until the bubbles stop.
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.
Reeces did that many years ago.
Pro tip: if there’s an Aldi near you, get the Benton’s sandwich creme cookies. They’re so much better than Oreos and way cheaper.
Dude, the Benton’s maple creme sandwich cookies… Omg
Aldi has quite a few house brands that are fantastic and (relatively) cheap.
Keep going. I’m getting there.
This is me too.
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.
Till the cookie is mushy but not so mushy it falls apart.
Just 3 seconds. The Oreos manufactured in my part of the world are very porous and absorb liquid way too fast, and I don’t like having my cookie crumble and break into my beverage just mere milliseconds away from touching my lip.
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
Hob Nobs are top tier. 🤌
Close, *homemade hobnobs are top tier. Trust me, I’m an emigrant 😂
That’s why we’re talking about dipping them
I alternate cookie and milk bites/sips so I have a crunch that suddenly melts when in my mouth. I don’t like biting into sogginess.
Until it’s too late to save it because I dropped it in the milk several minutes and fuck shit ass I forgot thanks to ADHD because ooo lizards.
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
Drop them all in at once and slowly sip the milk. Enjoy the delicious at the bottom when finished.
Uhhhhh zero seconds. I don’t like milk and thus I don’t dip my cookies in shit.
Fair.
F: Zero seconds.
Step 1: Eat a cookie Step 2: Drink Milk Step 3: Goto Step 1
I like to dip it far enough that my fingers are in the milk a little too so that I can feel once the oreo starts to get soft.
- Fill a cup with oreos.
- Cover with milk.
- Wait until oreos become paste.
- Stir and eat with spoon.
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 miss those.
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.
How does that work?
Not sure, I guess exposing the cookie to air let’s the milk seep in deeper.
I’m perfectly happy with 5 seconds, or not dipping at all. Eat cookie, drink milk. Still enjoyable one after the other.
My wife’s a 5-second dipper, though, so I have adopted her practice when she’s around.
Dip a chocolate digestive in tea for maybe two full seconds and it is absolute glory.
D or E
