Are Oreo cookies vegan?
This is a commonly asked question, but the cookies are safe to eat as a vegan since they do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. However, keep in mind that they have milk as cross-contact. Therefore, if you are allergic to dairy, then I would not recommend serving them.
Can I make the Oreo Turkey Cookies in advance?
Absolutely! This is one of the great parts about them, as they can easily be made ahead of time. Especially with a lot of dishes on the menu during the holidays, you can be safe by making them a few days in advance.
Then, simply put them in the refrigerator right away. This will save you valuable time to prepare the Thanksgiving dinner, and not worry about the dessert!
