Ugh! Just give us an Oreo and Chips Ahoy mashup already, Nabisco!

Not doing that is a big miss, yo! Can you imagine all the ridiculous clickbait-y titles that would spawn from a major snack announcement like that?

“Oreo and Chips Ahoy Create A Mind-Blowing Cookie That I Need In My Life Right Now or Else My Life is Ruined”

“Two Iconic Nabisco Brands Give Birth To A Cookie Baby That I Want To Hug With My Mouth”

“This Chips Ahoy and Oreo Mashup Will Make Me Set Up A Ring Alarm System Around My Cookie Jar”

Instead, we get the next sandwich cookie in the Oreo Cookie Dough Choco Chip Trilogy that began in 2014 with the original Cookie Dough Oreo, continued in 2016 with the Choco Chip Oreo, and ended recently with the return of the Cookie Dough Oreo, except instead of the chocolate wafers that the original had, it comes with the chocolate chip cookie-looking wafers that came with the 2016 version.

However, the creme’s flavor also seems slightly different from the 2014 version, which had a noticeable coffee-like flavor. With the creme in this, I taste a slight brown sugar flavor, a hint of chocolate, and a bit of marshmallow in the aftertaste. That sounds like an absolutely winning combination, but I found this sandwich cookie to be lacking a crazy delicious flavor that would put it in the upper echelon of limited edition Oreo varieties.

While a decent tasting Oreo, I think the chocolate flavor needs to be amped up a bit. It’s so mild that it makes the cookie dough image on the packaging seem misleading. The chocolate makes a huge difference in what makes chocolate chip cookie dough so good, but it’s too bad that these Oreos don’t really offer that in the creme or wafers.

This updated version of Cookie Dough Oreo is not a flavor that makes me want to stuff a row down my cookie hole in one sitting. I’ve had the package for over a week, and I still have one-third of it left. Maybe a decade from now, there will be another reboot of the cookie. Or, even better, an Oreo and Chips Ahoy collaboration.

That would be a mondo-lez mashup, Mondelez!

*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. You’ll probably pay less than I did.

As Selena Gomez’s hit song said, the heart wants what it wants. My heart wants more Oreo collaborations—not because I crave connection to a favorite star, but because Oreo’s celebrity collaborations yield interesting and inventive flavors. As we junk food fans know, wild possibilities are endless. If we work together, can we manifest a Judge Judy or Weird Al Yankovic Oreo?

In the meantime, I’ll let Selena Gomez Oreo Cookies imbue some glamor and spice in my life. Dressed in pink foil packaging, the cookies follow the Post Malone Oreo as the latest limited edition Oreo-celebrity collaboration. Selena’s signature Oreo is a “horchata-inspired” sandwich cookie. Broken down, the sandwich consists of chocolate cinnamon wafer cookies and two crèmes: chocolate cinnamon and sweetened condensed milk with cinnamon sugar.

Yes, you read “cinnamon” three times in that last sentence. While the individual cinnamon-kissed components are fantastic, the spice somewhat dominates the cookie. The wafers taste like cinnamon cookies touched with cocoa, something like chocolate speculoos. Both cremes are delicious, but the sweetened condensed milk crème is so good that future Oreo muse Weird Al might write a song about it. Its rich milkiness carries a hint of caramelization that makes regular Oreo crème seem like a sugary bore in comparison. Its cinnamon sugar crystals add more flavor than texture without much noticeable grit or crunch.

As one bite, the Oreo loses the nuances that make each component exciting. Cinnamon takes over, and while the cocoa is enough to make the cookie taste different from any number of Cinnamon Toast Crunch products on the market, it’s not enough to taste very chocolatey. I’m not sure both cremes needed cinnamon elements, and I would have loved more of the condensed milk creme to balance out the flavors. Like a cup of cinnamon hot cocoa on a cold day, the cookies’ unexpected combination of sweetness and spice hits the spot, but I didn’t like them as well as the Post Malone Oreos.

Like that product, the Selena Gomez cookies include embossed wafer designs (like headphones, a heart, and the star’s signature) and a QR code on the package that leads to exclusive content for fans.

Whether you adore Selena (Selenators, there’s an embossed wafer dedicated to you!) or cinnamon (cinna-minions, show yourselves!), these Oreos are a must-try. While I would have preferred more chocolate or condensed milk creme, I will still finish the package as I dream up new collaborations. If Selena can convince costars Steve Martin and Martin Short to collaborate on a Double Stuf Oreo, I’ll buy a second package.
