Instructions
- Create a luscious sweet potato blend by whisking mashed sweet potato with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until velvety and uniform in texture.
- Delicately separate each Oreo cookie into two halves, maintaining their structural integrity.
- Using a small spoon, carefully deposit a precise amount of sweet potato mixture onto one cookie half, ensuring even distribution.
- Gently reunite the cookie halves, pressing edges to seal the sweet potato filling completely.
- Chill the stuffed cookies in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Construct a silky batter by combining flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a expansive mixing vessel.
- Progressively incorporate milk, vanilla, and egg into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until achieving a luxurious, smooth consistency.
- Warm vegetable oil in a deep skillet, bringing the temperature to precisely 350°F for optimal frying conditions.
- Immerse each sweet potato-filled Oreo into the prepared batter, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Carefully lower the battered cookies into the hot oil, frying each side for approximately 1-2 minutes until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Extract the fried Oreos using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on a paper towel-lined surface.

- Generously drizzle the glossy glaze over the warm, freshly fried Oreos, creating an enticing final touch.
