Selena Gomez is giving “America’s Best-Loved Cookie” some Latin flavor.
The 32-year-old Mexican American singer/actress has partnered with Oreo to release a new flavor — and a song to go with it.
The exclusive cookie flavor was dreamt up by Gomez and the Oreo team, inspired by the “Calm Down” singer’s love of horchata.
The collaborative dessert is a one-of-a-kind sweet-and-spiced flavor combo, featuring a layer of rich chocolate and cinnamon creme all atop a layer of sweetened condensed milk-flavor creme with cinnamon sugar inclusions.
All this is sandwiched between two chocolate cinnamon flavored wafers. Simply put, the flavor is inspired by Gomez’s childhood favorites.
“Horchata is a comforting flavor to me. It brings back many memories with my family and has such a nostalgic experience. It’s always been one of my absolute favorites,” Gomez tells Billboard.
Each cookie is embossed with a design made with her fans in mind.
An exclusive cookie can be found in approximately every three packs that features Selena’s signature a la Willy Wonka. Along with the cookie drop, Gomez and Oreo Brand are dropping an exclusive remix of “I Can’t Get Enough” that’s just as sweet as the cookies themselves.
“This song will always have a special place in my heart for obvious reasons. When Benny [Blanco] and I were working on our album, we knew the song was part of our story and would be included on the album,” Gomez elaborates of her collab album I Said I Love You First with her fiancé, Blanco. “We wanted to give the fans something fun to go with the Oreo collaboration and this song made the most sense thematically. The remix feels a bit more playful than the original. I really like the faster tempo too. I think it goes well with the summer and being outside.”
Now here’s the most important info: How does Gomez eat her Oreos? Everyone has a specific way of doing it, and the singer’s method is quite unique. “For some reason, I love to eat them with a fork dunked in milk,” she shares. “Not sure how or why I even started doing it that way. I recently shared a very old photo of me eating one with a fork. Highly recommend trying it.”
Gomez’s limited-edition Oreo cookies arrived on June 2 and will be available only for a limited time, while supplies last.
“I do love Oreo cookies. I only want to do partnerships that are authentic to me. That’s why this partnership from the creation of the cookie, to giving my fans something special with the remix which you can listen to by scanning my signature Oreo cookie,” Gomez says. “In addition, Oreo is making a donation to the Rare Impact Fund, which is incredibly important to me.”
The cookie packs are available worldwide in Canada, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.
