Oreo cookies are a versatile snack enjoyed in many ways. They can be eaten straight from the package or incorporated into various desserts.

The most common way to enjoy Oreo cookies is by simply twisting them apart to lick the creme filling, or by dunking the entire cookie into a glass of milk. For more elaborate uses, the cookies can be crushed into fine crumbs to form the base of no-bake desserts like cheesecakes or bars.
