State Fair Deep Fried Oreo Cookies

There are a lot of state fair recipes that require deep frying. I never realized just how many until I started down this journey of creating a Minnesota State Fair recipe roundup of some of the most popular fair foods. Today, we are going to make Deep Fried Oreo Cookies.

Oreo cookies are a staple in our home. Some might even say a food group of their own. I know the kids would! I did not have to ask twice for taste testers for this recipes. Both Morgan and Peyton were eager to help out.

To make some State Fair Deep Fried Oreo Cookies you will need the following –

Oreo Cookies – I suggest double stuffed or mega stuffed
Oil
1 C Biscuit Mix
1 Large Egg
1/2 C Milk
Powdered Sugar
Deep Fryer or a large pot with thermometer


This recipe moves fairly quickly so on the front end you’ll want to do a little prep work. Take a large plate and place some paper towels down. This is where you are going to place your freshly fried Oreo cookies so the excess oil can be absorbed into the paper towels.

In a shallow bowl place the biscuit mix.

In another bowl beat together the egg and milk.

Then, whisk the liquid mixture into the biscuit mix until you have a smooth batter.

Pour the oil into your deep fryer or large pot and heat the oil until it is 375 degrees.

Dip your Oreo cookie into the batter, be sure to shake off the excess.

Gently drop or place the battered Oreo into the hot oil and cook for 1-2 minutes for each side. When the batter is a nice golden brown they are done.

You want to be sure to shake off excess batter. If there is a lot of excess batter it may not cook all the way by the time the outside is golden brown.

Place the finished Oreo cookies on the paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Dust with a thin layer of powdered sugar before serving.

These are best served warm. And a nice cold glass of milk goes perfectly with them too.
