It’s already been a busy summer for Oreo, but America’s favorite cookie isn’t ready to rest on the success of its [Firecracker Pop cookies](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-oreo-firecracker-pop-cookies/) and [purple-hued crossover with BTS](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-oreo-bts/). After a decade-long absence, **Oreo Cinnamon Bun Cookies** are hitting shelves starting July 6.

Oreo describes this flavor as a “bakery-inspired twist on a fan favorite,” promising “the comforting taste of a freshly baked cinnamon bun in Oreo Cookie form.”

Who doesn’t love a cinnamon bun? And who wouldn’t love an Oreo that tastes like a cinnamon bun?

### The thoughts

When you bite into a cinnamon roll, there are three things you expect: A flaky pastry that’s likely to make a mess, hidden pockets of cinnamon and a ridiculous drizzling of sugary frosting.

The Cinnamon Bun Oreo doesn’t quite live up to that experience.

This is one of those impossible-to-recreate Oreo flavors. So much of eating a cinnamon bun is about the textural experience. The flavors play off each other. There’s a knowledge that each bite, leading you from the outer spirals to the treat’s inner core, is going to get sweeter and sweeter — but the end is getting closer as you do.

An Oreo bite is everything at once. All the flavors of a cinnamon roll have been distilled down and merged together.

The weird part of the Cinnamon Roll Oreo is that Oreo could have separated the elements of a cinnamon roll a bit more. A cinnamon cookie and a frosting-flavored creme. (Would that just be normal Oreo creme?) But while Oreo went with cinnamon cookies, they paired them with cinnamon bun-flavored creme.

Don’t get me wrong, the Cinnamon Bun Oreo is a good cookie. I’ll keep eating them. But this feels like a real missed opportunity to create something a bit more elevated.
