Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 12 Oreo cookies (classic or flavored varieties)
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
For Frying
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying (enough to submerge cookies)
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Chocolate or caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Gradually add the milk and egg while stirring until the batter is smooth, thick, and able to evenly coat the Oreos without dripping excessively.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to about 375°F (190°C), maintaining this temperature to ensure a crispy and golden crust.
- Coat the Oreos: Using tongs or a fork, dip each Oreo cookie into the prepared batter, making sure it’s fully covered on all sides for a perfect crunchy coating.
- Fry the cookies: Carefully place the batter-coated Oreos into the hot oil in small batches to avoid crowding. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cookies become beautifully golden brown.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fried Oreos with a slotted spoon, letting excess oil drip off. Transfer them to paper towels to drain further. While still warm, dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with sauces if desired. Serve immediately for best results.
Notes
- Keep oil hot at 375°F to avoid greasy, soggy Oreos.
- Fry in small batches to ensure even crispiness and proper cooking.
- Use fresh oil for better taste and appearance.
- Pat dry cookies before battering to promote even coating.
- Enjoy Deep Fried Oreos warm for melty filling and crispy coating.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours, but are best eaten fresh.
- Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
