A history of popular sweets and some details
American children have come up with a ritual according to which they need to absorb Oreo cookies. It is necessary to divide the halves, lick the filling from both and, having dipped in milk, eat chocolate crispy dough. Yes, without milk, this cookie will not be so perfect. Therefore, we can say that this drink is a mandatory addition to this delicacy.
What is the origin of the name Oreo cookies, even its manufacturers find it difficult to answer. It appeared in 1912 on the British market. The cream was with two excipients. One of them was traditional creamy. And the second - lemon meringue - for some reason turned out to be unpopular. But the cream cream broke all records. The design of sweets changed, besides it was made with various additives. But the original taste is the most beloved and popular, especially among children. The second, just as hit option is a vanilla sandwich with chocolate cream filling.
The dark color of traditional Oreo cookies is most likely due to the high percentage of cocoa content. But some detractors spread the rumor that soot is one of the components of sweetness.
To protect yourself from poor-quality products, prepare your favorite cookies at home. But do not forget that Oreo cookies are extremely high in calories. The combination of a high percentage of fats with a large amount of carbohydrates contributes to the fulminant deposition of excess fat reserves. Therefore, in part, you can only rejoice that Oreo cookies in Moscow and other Russian cities can not always be bought. If you are not afraid to spoil the figure, then try to cook it at home. In addition to unsurpassed taste, it looks very attractive and can be used to decorate cakes and cupcakes.
