The Best Way to Crush Oreos (3 Steps)

Crushed Oreo cookie pieces are ideal for adding crunch and a familiar flavor to desserts. Use them to make a pie crust, mix them into dough, or sprinkle them on top of ice cream and cakes. You don't need any special equipment to crush cookies; just grab a plastic bag and a rolling pin. You can use this method on crackers to create a topping for casseroles and other baked dishes, too.

Things You'll Need

  • Plastic bag
  • Kitchen towel
  • Rolling pin

Instructions

  1. Pour the Oreos into a large, zip-top plastic bag. Squeeze the air out of the bag and and seal it tightly.

  2. Place the bag on a flat surface and cover it with a kitchen towel to prevent the bag from ripping or tearing.

  3. Roll back and forth over the bag of cookies with a rolling pin. To make finely crushed cookies, roll over the bag several times.
