At one time Nabisco actually conducted a study that determined that 50 percent of Oreo consumers twist the cookie apart before eating it. I guess this is important information, since it concerns the world's top-selling cookie. Historians at Nabisco aren't sure who came up with the idea for this sandwich cookie back in 1912, but they do know that it was introduced along with two other cookie creations that have long since died. The name may have come from the Greek word for mountain, oreo, which would once have made sense because the first test version was hill-shaped. When the Oreo was first sold to the public, it was much larger than today's cookie, but it kept shrinking over the years until Nabisco realized it had become too small and had to enlarge it again to today's current 13/4-inch diameter.
In 1975, Nabisco figured we couldn't have too much of a good thing, so the company gave us Double Stuf Oreos, with twice the filling. But why stop there? Now you're free to pile as much "stuf" on your cookies as you like.

Not bad, but a lot of work. I think I'd rather just go out and buy the regular Oreo's instead of spending hours making these.

The spice lid was too small so I switched to 1-1/2" cookie cutter and the size was about right. When fresh, my kids were not impressed but after sealed in tightly closed container for a day, the flavors blended and they tasted just like the original. The texture is more cookie-like while the original is almost cracker-texture.
