National Oreo Cookie Day

Two chocolate wafers. A layer of sweet cream filling. That was the entire idea.

Today is National Oreo Cookie Day, recognizing the cookie that has been quietly dominating the snack aisle since 1912.

That year the National Biscuit Company, better known as Nabisco, introduced the Oreo, a simple chocolate sandwich cookie finished with the familiar decorative pattern stamped into the biscuit.

More than a century later the formula still works. The company has introduced countless variations, double stuffed, seasonal flavors, and limited editions, yet the original remains the version most people recognize instantly.

For this photograph I kept things simple. A pile of Oreos straight from the package, stacked on a black background. No props and no styling tricks, just the cookies themselves arranged into a small mound of one of the most recognizable snack foods ever made.
