Chocolate cream-filled cookies, similar to the famous Oreo Cakesters, are a sweet treat that has won over palates all over the world. Their origin dates back to innovations in the cookie industry in the United States during the mid-20th century. These cookies combine the intense flavor of chocolate with a creamy, sweet filling that creates a delicious contrast.
In Latin America, filled cookies vary in name and presentation depending on the country: in Mexico they are commonly known as "galletas sandwich" or simply "galletas rellenas"; in Argentina they might be called "alfajores de chocolate rellenos"; while in Colombia and Venezuela they are usually recognized as "galletas con crema". However, the popularity of Oreo has influenced this variety of filled cookies to be recognized in many places as a benchmark of quality and flavor.
