I have always wondered where the name came from, and there are many thoughts about that. My favorite is that it is a derivative from Oreodaphne, a part of the laurel family. The original Oreo package had a laurel wreath on it, so the connection is pretty clear!
I have loved using Oreos to make my holiday treats. The truffles made from oreos and cream cheese are my family's favorites. I love using the mint oreos to make these each Christmas. Do you have a favorite flavor for your truffles?
Here are ten of my favorite Oreo Christmas cookies. Can you pick out just one favorite? I couldn't!

ReplyDeleteOreos are my favorite too. I love the cute cookies but it is a bit too much work for this girl. Dipping them in chocolate alone would be okay and then dipping in sprinkles or crushed candy cane.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a horrible heat wave in Southern California for the entire summer. Normally, I'm not so desperate for cool weather. But between the temperature relief and these ADORABLE cookie ideas, I'm ready to skip right to December.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look so good! Makes me want to wish it is December soon. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try the orea snowballs
