I must say that I have found the one Oreo-like cookie that I think is the best. I've tried JoJo's and Oreos but this Japanese cookie beats them both.

I consider Hydrox the original gourmet cookie. Oreo's are the comercial ripoff that are sticky sweet and over hyped. The Hydrox flavor is rich and delicate. The Oreo is heavy. You only eat an Oreo if you can't find Hydrox.

I am also a fan of the 365 whole foods oreos. They peel apart best, and the icing is not as creamy.

I'm another fan of the Whole Foods brand oreo knock-off. I love them so much that they've ruined me for all other oreo-style cookies.

i would recommend the Late July version of Oreos/Hydrox...the vanilla ones have green tea vanilla creme and the chocolate chocolate ones are very dark chocolate. kind of a grown up version of the classic...

I grew up with Hyrdox, so when I bought a package recently, I was surprised that it was the taste and texture of my memory. When I started eating Oreos when I was older, I thought they had changed the filling consistency, but now I realize I grew up with the harder filling of Hydrox (not easy to lick off the cookie). I prefer the taste of Hyrdox, though, and I like the firmer filling.

Oreos are still super good, though.

Here are my observations between an Oreo/Hydrox cookies smack down I'm conducting on these packs of cookies that a friend forgot at my place on their way overseas a couple of days ago. I've sampled 24 cookies thus far.(somebody stop me!).

Oreo cookie: Very sweet filling, intense chocolate flavor, very crunchy.
Dunking data: n/a

Hydrox cookie: Not as sweet as Oreo filling(which I prefer), ok chocolate flavor, crunchy.
Dunking data: n/a

My wish list Frankencookie: Oreo cookie with Hydrox cookie filling (to cut down on quick sugar overload).

Conclusion: Between these two, the Oreo cookie wins, although some may find it too sweet, but the chocolate flavor can hold you over until a slightly less sweeter but every bit as chocolatey contender is recommended.

Best way to eat an Oreo.
Fill teacup with milk.
Drop cookie in.
Wait 2 seconds until cookie begins to sink.
Quickly spoon it out and eat it while it's softening.
Say "Thank you God!"

Whole Foods store brand are my absolute favorite sandwich cookie. The half black half white kind are to die for. They've become my automatic potluck/picnic/bbq backup when I don't have time to bake anything.

I love that you are having this cookie taste-off! All in the interest of research right? Rock on! I'm going to do this!
How about buying Newman's cuz we love him and all the profits from his food goes to charity? May you rest in peace you handsome, awesome artist, brutha.

My favorites are the Newman Ginger-Os. Yum! I prefer them to any chocolate cookie, which is saying something.
