Can I use a different cookie besides Oreos?

Absolutely! Any sandwich-style cookie will work, and you can really have fun experimenting with different flavors. Just be sure to coat them well in batter so the filling doesn’t ooze out.

Do I need a deep fryer to make these?

Nope! A deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan works just fine. Just ensure the oil is deep enough (about 3-4 inches) so the Oreos float freely as they fry.

Is there a way to make the batter without buttermilk?

Yes! If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, simply add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and let it sit for a minute or two. This quick hack gives you the same great texture and flavor.

What’s the best way to keep the batter from sliding off the cookies?

Make sure your Oreos are dry, and gently press them into the batter, fully coating all sides. If the batter is too thin, add a little more flour to thicken it up for better sticking power.

Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the eggs and buttermilk, then mix until the batter is mostly smooth with no large lumps.
Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a deep skillet or pot until it reaches about 3-4 inches deep. Place over medium to medium-high heat and let it reach 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Oreos: Working in small batches of 6-8 cookies at a time, dip each Oreo into the batter, ensuring all sides are fully coated.
Fry the Oreos: Carefully place each coated Oreo into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and fry the other side for another 2 minutes, until equally golden.
Drain and Serve: Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer fried Oreos to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

For best results, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy Oreos.
Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and gooey center.
You can experiment with different Oreo flavors or use gluten-free Oreos for a variation.
Be cautious when working with hot oil; fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
