How do I cut an oreo? I recently made some decorated cupcakes that required oreo halves. I tried several methods:


serrated knife - lots of crumbs, both halves would shatter
plain knife (slowly) - lots of crumbs, both sides of both halves would shatter
plain knife (quickly) - less crumbs, typically one side of one half would shatter


What's the best way to go about cutting my oreos without turning them into a (delicious) crumbly mess?
Try freezing the oreos first and then cut with a sharp knife.  Let the oreos warm to room temperature again.  They will not lose any texture or crispiness.

Update:

In the name of science, I froze some oreos and tested the outcome.  Freezing the oreos made the cutting much more...achievable.  A room temperature oreo just wants to crumble in too many places, but a frozen one holds together better.
