Is there anything better than OREO cookies and milk? Yes, Oreo Biscotti and coffee! They go well with tea or milk, too. The beverage is your choice, but you shouldn’t wait to make these amazing treats. they’re a new favorite in our house, so much so that we’re already planning variations.
This is a fun, elegant take on a classic. The best part though, is that these are cookies made with cookies! What could be more fun than that? this recipe transforms a childhood favorite (and let’s face it, adults like Oreo’s, too) into something more refined, but just as perfect for dunking. Perfect!
To top it off, this isn’t a complicated recipe. Yes, there are several steps involved, but that’s true of all biscotti. The result however, are truly crowd pleasing. Both the little ones and adults will fawn over these cookies. All you have to do is bake them, then get the kids to help you dunk them and add sprinkles.

What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:
This recipe screams for changes. (Generic wafer cookies work perfectly for this, trust me!) It’s too simple for you not to tweak to fit what you like. I’m sure some of you already have ideas on what you would change about them. We do as well, so stay tuned for more recipes based on this one!
Of course, if you’ve already got something in mind, be sure to let us know in the comments!
