These Limited Edition Lemon Twist Oreo cookies don’t have a twist that forces you to ride the suspense pony like a typical M. Night Shyamalan movie does. They’re just two golden vanilla Oreo cookies with lemon-flavored creme sandwiched between them, so they’re pretty straight forward.
Or are they?
According to the front of the packaging, they’re made with “natural flavor with other natural flavor.” But after reading the ingredients list, I saw dead people…I mean, I saw it’s also made with artificial flavor.
Dum. Dum. Duummmm.
Okay, the only twist involved with these Limited Edition Lemon Twist Oreo cookies is the action of twisting and not the unexpected plot change in a work of fiction that M. Night Shyamalan will only be known for when directing career is over. Creme lickers know what I’m talking about. Stick out your tongue, if you feel me.
I twisted the top off of several Lemon Twist Oreo cookies and licked the creme like I was living in the 1980s and needed to seal an envelope and adhere a 20-cent first class stamp to the front of it. What did my mastication muscles discover?
I thought the creme was going to taste like a wood table that’s been recently cleaned with lemon Pledge, and I prepared for that by licking a Pledge cleaned table, but the creme tasted nothing like that. Instead, it had little lemon sourness that’s quickly joined with a vanilla sweetness. However, there’s a slight artificial lemon aftertaste, which you’ll relive after every post-Lemon Twist Oreo burp. The lemon creme was tasty, but licking it wasn’t as satisfying as French kissing the vanilla creme in an original Oreo cookie.
What was satisfying was keeping the top Golden Oreo cookie on and keeping my tongue in my mouth, because eating a complete Lemon Twist Oreo was delightful. The lemon creme and Golden Oreo cookies work extremely well together, creating a flavor similar to lemon meringue. The vanilla flavor of the cookies dampened the sourness of the lemon creme and enhanced the Oreo’s sweetness, producing a pleasant balance of sweet and sour.
I have to say the Limited Edition Lemon Twist Oreo cookies are one of the best limited edition Oreo varieties I’ve tried, and I would eat the entire package right now, but I have to ration them because these cookies are hard to find.

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Delightful. Tastes great when consumed as a whole cookie. One of the best limited edition Oreo cookies. Nice balance of sweet and sour. When first class stamps were 20 cents. TIB readers being awesome.
Cons: Licking lemon creme is not as satisfying as licking vanilla Oreo creme. Contains HFCS, if that bothers you. Damn hard to find. Riding the suspense pony during a typical M. Night Shyamalan movie.

For some of us, HFCS is a pro. I’ve tasted cookies with evaporated cane juice or beet juice concentrate, and even a brainwashed Cookie Monster would not approve.
I’ve never heard of a Woodman’s, but I’m going to google maps this nonsense and getting myself to one.
Woodman’s is a Wisconsin/Illinois chain, so you’ve got a long drive ahead of you.
Remember Lemon Coolers (by Sunshine)? Those were awesome. It’s funny that the most boring sounding (compared to candy corn, birthday cake, etc) Oreos are actually the best.
I remember lemon sandwich cookies by Sunshine. Those were good.
These look fantastic, I hope Oreo bring them to the UK!
I’m a sucker for all things lemon…for some reason I was hoping these would be the chocalate cookie with lemon flavor creme. I would still trample over cats to buy these. Hell, I would trample over cats for any reason.
Damn this post makes me miss Woodman’s. Woodman’s has everything, including great commercials.
Lemon’s been growing on me recently, and this post makes me crave some of these Oreo’s. But neither of the big stores near my house carry these :(
I think you have to try looking at the smaller grocery stores. I believe Target or Walmart don’t carry it.
Certain grcoery stores in some areas are licensed to carry certain products. Here in MD we have a chain called Giant which has Cookies and Cream Oreos. I have not seen them in any other store.
Trouble with that is there really aren’t any “small” grocery stores where I live (and I’m in a small town, go figure). The smallest one I know of nearby is a Fresh Market, so so much for that. Surprised that bigger stores wouldn’t carry them, even around here.
I finally found these – they are AWESOME!! I’ve already gone through one and bought two more. One is destined for the freezer with a “Do not open until Spring” label.
If you live in a Food Lion area see if they have them. I kept checking Wal-Mart thinking I would find them there. No luck. Walked into Food Lion not expecting to see them, and there they were. A huge display right at the front entrance.
I so love anything lemon. Hearing about these has both made my day in the “these are gonna be so good!” category, and ruined my hopes for decent weight loss this week, all at the same time.
These never made it to Baton Rouge, LA and I really wanted to try them.
So GOOD bring them back!
Found these by chance at our Food Lion before Christmas. My husband and I both love them. I’m a big lemon fan and these were great, not too sweet with just a little tang. The cashier laughed at me because I bought a couple of bags every week. Being limited edition I figured they’d be gone soon and they were. Still have 3 packs but would love to be able to buy them year round. Any chance???
Best Oreo you make. Why are they only limited edition. They should be year round!!!!!
Was trying to figure out just how limited these Oreos are and stumbled across your review…I agree that these taste so good! They have just the right amount of tangy/tart and the Golden Oreo cracker balances it out perfectly!
We bought one package just to try them and the whole family loved them, went through them really fast! Went back to the grocery store next week and bought two more…but when I wanted to stock up the next week after seeing they were limited edition they were out of stock, store said they wouldn’t be getting anymore. Tried searching at other grocery stores as well as Target/Walmart in the area and couldn’t find any :(
Hope they bring these back, we love them more than normal oreos!
PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!
