Hello and welcome to Cupcake Addiction's Rainbow Oreo Cookie Jar Tutorial where I'll be showing
you how to take this simple Oreo cookie and turn it into this gorgeous rainbow cookie
jars [alike], the perfect [favor] for almost any occasion to give to your guests or to
your friends.
Tools and equipment that we will be using today:
I've got just a regular knife.
You do want to try and get a knife with a relatively flat edge on it.
So it doesn't necessarily have to be sharp one.
But just try and get a knife that's relatively thin.
I've got my Oreo cookies.
I've got a jar.
So you can use a [mason] jar.
This one is not quite a [mason] jar.
It's got a bit of an indented lid.
I will mention I would have preferred to have got the ones that did not have the indented
lid, that had more of a [screw] on lid just because you can fit an extra Oreo in those
ones.
This one here, I've got a [lid] space for the Oreo cookies so I missed out on one of
my colors.
I've got my frosting.
Now I've used our perfectly pipeable buttercream frosting in vanilla.
And you can see here, I've just colored it using either liquid or color paste.
It really doesn't matter.
And I've just picked 5 or 6 different colors of the rainbow and colored it in, mixed it
all through.
And then I've spooned that frosting into 5 separate zip lock bags.
And I've just trimmed a little corner off.
There's no exact measurement here.
It doesn't have to be precise but it just fashion it into a little bit of a piping bag
for us.
I've got your little "Keep Calm and Eat Cookies" tag.
So you can see here, I've added that to the front of our little rainbow cookie jar.
That's totally optional.
You can obviously put whatever you like on the front of your cookie jar but I just created
that template for you, guys.
And I will leave a link to that in the description box below.
So to get started, you want to split your Oreo cookies.
Now I had a little bit of trouble here.
And I've found a lot of my Oreo cookies broke so I've pre-slit them and I've scraped off
that cream inside.
When you split your cookies...
I know it says to twist them on the packet.
But every time I twisted one, it broke.
You can say there.
I think Ii must have gone a couple of packets that have been dropped.
Basically, you want to cut it in half and you want to scrape off that excess cream.
So you end up with quite a few that you're going to eat.
I know that me and my son will be eating cookies and cookie crumbs for quite some time.
But basically, you want to do that.
And you want 5 or 6 cookies but it's going to vary depending on the size of the cookie
jar that you've got.
So for me, 5 is perfect for this size cookie jar.
This is a really really simple tutorial.
We're going to take our cookie.
There we go.
You don't have to take all of that cookie cream off.
Just take as much of it as you can off so you've got a little bit of space.
And then I'm going to take my first color, so my bottom color, which for me is going
to be blue.
And I'm just going to make a little sort of a swirl on the Oreo.
Bring it out not quite all the way to the ends.
But you do want to keep it relatively even in that Oreo.
And you can see that sort of a thickness that I've gone with there.
It's about a little bit thicker than a regular Oreo cream.
So when you take your Oreo top, stick it on top and you just want to sort of evenly squished
it together.
Now, if you put too much cream, you're going to end up with cream sort of spilling over
the sides and you don't want that in this jar.
So you can see there, as I squeeze it, I'm turning it around so that I can even up where
that cream is, I guess, squishing that.
And you've got there a really nice sort of an even Oreo cream.
So now, to get it in your jar...
The first one, because it's got the fartherest to travel, I find it easiest to turn the jar
upside down and just sort of lift it in there and let it go.
The next ones, we're just going to drop in.
So we're going to repeat that process with our next color which for me is going to be
green.

There's our green ready to go.
So to drop that into the cookie jar, you just want to drop it.
If for chance, it comes in, it's not completely flat, use your knife just to tilt it a little
bit.
But try not to let that frosting touch the edges of the jar.
You really want to try and keep the frosting inside the Oreos.
And you don't want them messing up with the nice edges of your clean, clean, clear jar.
So we're just going to repeat that with our other colors, moving on now to our yellow.
Now you don't have to do this in a rainbow pattern, you can do it in an [umbre], so graduating
colors of, say, blues for little boy's baby shower or pinks for our little girls.
There's our final color, that red.
And in it goes on top.
So if you look at the sides of that cookie jar...
Have a look at that.
It's a simple Oreo cookie.
It's a completely no-bake recipe and it's really effective.
Now I'll just finish my jar off with a little bit of ribbon.
You can see I've gone yellow on that one, orange in this one.
And I will likely do all the different colors of the rainbow as far as that ribbon goes.
Pop your lid on the jar.
And if you've chosen to go with that little optional tag, I've just printed mine out in
a bit of a sticky label.
So I think we call them mailing labels here in Australia.
And just stick it on top, nice and centered.
So there you've got your gorgeous little rainbow Oreo cookie jars, the perfect favors or gifts
for your guests.
I hope you've enjoyed watching this tutorial and I hope that you'll love making these rainbow
cookie jars for your friends and family.
Thanks very much for watching.
