Packs will be available for preorder June 30 before rolling out in stores nationwide. 'You win. Now please stop yelling at us,' Oreo captioned an Instagram post announcing the cookie's return. The seasonal snack, featuring blueberry creme sandwiched between two graham cracker-flavored cookies, will rejoin the Oreo lineup for the first time since 2017, according to a news release.

'Making my own OREO cookie was a lot of fun,' Gomez said. 'I grew up loving them, so being able to be a part of the process was a full-circle moment.' Previous limited-edition Oreo flavors have included red velvet, churro and PB&J, according to Tasting Table.
