Step 6

In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, warm about 1 inch of vegetable oil. It should be deep enough to cook half the thickness of one wrapped Oreo.

Add a few Oreos to the skillet, making sure they don't touch. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Using tongs, flip the Oreos and fry for another 2 minutes.

Tip

Before frying the Oreos, test the oil to make sure it's hot enough. To do this, add one wrapped Oreo and fry it according to these directions. Break it open and check the dough inside. If it's fully cooked, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked Oreos to a plate lined with a paper towel. Fry the remaining Oreos in batches, adding more oil as necessary.

Step 8

Dust the fried Oreos with powdered sugar if you'd like. Enjoy immediately, as they taste best freshly cooked.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They'll become less crispy over time, but they'll still taste great once they are reheated.
