March 6th is the day we celebrate everyone's favorite cookie - it's National Oreo Cookie Day! Like, sure - okay, a chocolate chip cookie is the more classic choice when playing favoritism, but c'mon buds, the Oreo is as functional as it is yummy - you get double the cookie dunk-ability (side note: someone please submit dunk-ability to Webster's dictionary ASAP because how is this not recognized as a real word?!) - what other cookie has double the surface area for dunking action? Two discs of crunchy chocolate cookie sandwiching a thick layer of smooth, sweet vanilla cream...like FACT (at least according to the world of me, myself, and I) the Oreo is the best cookie. Pour me a glass of milk and hand me a vape because I am ready to take my munchies to Oreo-Town.
Let's give rise to the Oreo by transforming it into an ultra thick, silky, smooth cheesecake. Sure I love this lil' guy straight outta the Nabisco-stamped package, but there’s absolutely no arm twisting that needs to be done when it comes to making an Oreo Cookies 'N Cream Cheesecake, especially one infused with magic dry herbs from Mary Wanna’s garden *wink wink*. And thanks to the MagicalButter Machine, we can turn an intricate extraction process into a one-step function. Infusing mind altering dry herbs with butter has never been easier with this cutting edge machine. I hope you space cowboys are ready for take off because this cookies ‘n cream cheesecake will have you feelin’ like you’re flying high to the moon!
