The Oreo Java Chip cookies are one of the latest flavor announcements from Nabisco for its iconic snack that will be available for consumers to pick up starting in January 2021. The cookies start off with the signature cookie discs that are paired with a coffee flavored cream that has been infused with chocolatey chips. This gives the cookies a flavor that is similar to what you'd find at an ice cream parlor or even a coffee shop given the popularity of chocolatey coffee drinks.
The Oreo Java Chip cookies have also been touted by the brand as a permanent addition to its roster of flavors, which is likely to come as welcome news to consumers hoping it isn't a limited-edition offering.
