Celebrating National Oreo Cookie Day: Three Delicious Oreo Cookie Recipes Included!

Oreo cookies have been a beloved treat in the United States since the National Biscuit Company (now known as Nabisco) developed and produced the "Oreo Biscuit" in 1912 at its Chelsea factory in New York City.

Today, the block on which the factory was located is known as "Oreo Way." The name "Oreo" was trademarked on March 14, 1912, and the first Oreo cookies sold for 25 cents a pound in clear glass-topped novelty cans.

Over the years, the Oreo cookie has undergone several name changes and redesigns.

The Oreo Biscuit was renamed the Oreo Sandwich in 1912 and then the Oreo Creme Sandwich in 1948. In 1952, the modern-day Oreo design, which includes the Nabisco logo, was developed by William A. Turnier. Nabisco's principal food scientist, Sam Procello, developed the modern Oreo cookie filling.

You can take a poll of your friends and family and find out how they eat their Oreos, dunk them in milk, crush them up and sprinkle them on ice cream, use them to make a delicious dessert, share them with a friend, or try a new flavor of Oreos.

To celebrate National Oreo Cookie Day, you can also grab a glass of milk and a handful of Oreos to enjoy, and use #NationalOreoCookieDay to post on social media.

There are countless ways to enjoy Oreo cookies, and you're only limited by your imagination.

You can twist them apart, eat the cream center, and put them back together, twist them apart, eat the cream and cookie side first, and cookie only side last, eat the cookie side first, and the cookie and cream side last, or any combination of the above while dunking in milk.
