I have to apologize to **Snackology** readers for not commemorating the holiday, but I’m going to hopefully make up for it with my latest find: **Oreo Golden Birthday Cake cookies**. While the standard chocolate variety of Birthday Cake Oreos are always on shelves, the golden cookie version [has been missing for over a decade](https://people.com/oreo-is-releasing-double-chocolate-cakesters-and-golden-birthday-cake-cookies-11682383?ref=theomnicosm.com). Are the Birthday Cake Golden Oreos worth that long of a wait? Are they an appropriate way to celebrate Oreo’s 113th birthday? What do you get for the cookie that has everything? ## Sign up Join the hundreds of ****Snackology** subscribers who already get this free newsletter covering new snacks — candy, soda, fast food and more!

In the case of the two Birthday Cake varieties, I think the golden version has the edge. Opening the package of Birthday Cake Golden Oreos, there’s the distinctive one-two punch of the golden cookie and the Birthday Cake creme. (With rainbow sprinkles!) There was a time when Oreos came in either chocolate or golden cookies — a time before red velvet cookies or cookies with [popping candies in them to mimic a soda](https://www.theomnicosm.com/hey-you-got-coca-cola-in-my-oreos/). The Golden Oreo is a throwback, and it’s a perfect pairing for the Birthday Cake creme. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2025/03/IMG_9759.jpeg) The chocolate version of the Birthday Cake Oreo is our daughter’s favorite variety of Oreo. She doesn’t always eat the cookies themselves, but that white-and-rainbow creme is the first part of the Oreo to disappear. I didn’t deploy that method of eating an Oreo for my taste test here. But I did forget that I was doing a taste test. I usually take a bite or two before offering a new cookie or candy to my wife or daughter for their thoughts. By the time I had turned around from our dining room table to find them, I had already stuffed the entire cookie into my mouth. The Birthday Cake Golden Oreos are very good. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2025/03/IMG_9758.jpeg) ### Final verdict: BUY I’m not sure how long these cookies will be on shelves. The chocolate version of the Birthday Cake Oreo is a standard variety now, but I haven’t seen anything from Nabisco to hint that their Golden Oreo counterpart will join them. Do your patriotic duty and celebrate Oreo’s 113th birthday by picking up a pack when you find them in stores. The true test of whether or not the Birthday Cake Golden Oreos are a hit or not will come later tonight when our toddler realizes that we’re out of the standard chocolate flavor … [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2025/03/more-oreo.png)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/tag/oreo/) ****Snackology** is written and produced by ****Bill Kuchman**.
