Oreo cookie

Black-white-black treat

An Oreo cookie is a sandwich cookie consisting of two chocolate wafers with sweet cream filling between them.

The name is trademarked but often used generically for similar cookies: We bought the store-brand Oreos.

The cookie's twist-apart ritual and milk-dunking are part of American snack culture.
