\"Limited<\/p>\n

I think the junk food gods wanted me to have a good experience sampling the new Apple Cider Donut Oreo Cookies, which are a standard Golden Oreo cookie with a tan-colored creme that tastes like apple cider donuts.<\/p>\n

I had been actively (obsessively) searching for several days, and finally found them the fourth day in a random local grocery store, when it just happened to be twenty-five degrees cooler than average. So even though it\u2019s August, it totally felt<\/em> like fall, making a perfect atmosphere to review these new cookies that totally taste<\/em> like fall.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

When I first heard about these, I was intrigued and excited but also skeptical. I hoped for three elements from cookies with \u201cApple Cider Donut\u201d in the name: apple, donut, and spices (specifically cinnamon). Would they deliver? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n

Apple: Check!<\/p>\n

Donut: Check!<\/p>\n

Spices: Check?<\/p>\n

OK, so I don\u2019t really taste the spices, even though the ingredients list says \u201cspices (includes cinnamon).\u201d But the rest of it is so good that I don\u2019t mind!<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how Nabisco\u2019s food scientists did it, but these cookies really taste like donuts, like there\u2019s been dough fried in oil.<\/p>\n

The most prominent flavor, though, is apple. It\u2019s not an authentic flavor, but it\u2019s also not like an artificial candy flavor. It\u2019s somewhere in the middle. And even though I don\u2019t always like apple flavors, I don\u2019t mind it at all here!<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

The Oreo is known as a dunking cookie. So I dunked these in milk, and the result surprised me: the milk neither enhanced nor detracted from the experience. It brought the apple flavor forward, but not overwhelmingly so.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

And since it\u2019s apple cider donut, I dunked these in apple cider as well. I worried the authentic cider would make the creme taste too artificial, but nope, it was still enjoyable. Neither better nor worse.<\/p>\n

No matter how I tried them (eating normally, separating the creme, dunking in milk, dunking in cider), I liked them equally. You know those people who are friends with everyone? These Oreo cookies are the junk food equivalent.<\/p>\n

For more than a decade, we have had lots of candies and treats flavored like candy corn, caramel apple, and of course, pumpkin spice. I love them all, but I\u2019m so glad to see another iconic fall food get some recognition.<\/p>\n

There are other Oreo flavors that I like more, but these just make me happy. Like any good Oreo should do.<\/p>\n
