Oreo Chocolate Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies
What it is
These are sandwich cookies featuring a chocolate cookie wafer filled with a creamy chocolate hazelnut flavored creme. The classic Oreo cookie structure is maintained, with two crisp chocolate discs encasing a sweet, smooth filling. The addition of hazelnut flavor aims to provide a distinct taste profile compared to the original creme.
How people cook with it
These cookies are a popular treat enjoyed on their own or incorporated into various dessert creations.

- Crush for pie crusts
- Add to ice cream sundaes
- Decorate baked goods
Oreo Chocolate Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies are typically eaten straight from the package as a sweet snack. For more elaborate uses, the cookies can be crumbled and mixed with melted butter to form a base for cheesecakes or tarts. They can also be chopped and added to cookie dough or brownie batter for an extra layer of flavor and texture. The creme filling can sometimes be scraped out for specific baking applications, though this is less common with flavored varieties.
How it differs from similar foods
This version differs from the original Oreo by incorporating a chocolate hazelnut flavored creme instead of the classic vanilla. The chocolate cookie wafers remain similar in texture and taste to the standard Oreo, but the creme offers a nuttier, richer chocolate profile.
Who it is for
People who enjoy sweet treats and are looking for a variation on a familiar cookie will appreciate these.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining cookies in their original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can affect the texture of the cookie and the creme.
