The Short Answer
OREO Thins are a thinner, crispier version of the classic OREO, launched in the United States on July 13, 2015. One serving of 4 cookies (29 g) has 140 calories in every flavor checked. The line includes Chocolate, Golden, Mint, Lemon, and Tiramisu creme flavors, plus Extra Stuf with more creme. Thins keep the same cookie-to-filling ratio as the original, in a slimmer cookie. This page covers the US product only.
What OREO Thins Are
The Thin Cookie
OREO Thins keep the format of the classic cookie — two wafers with creme between them — in a slimmer cookie. The wafer is thinner and the cookie as a whole is thinner; the two-wafers-and-creme format stays the same. The oreo.com product pages describe every Thins flavor the same way: “the classic OREO cookies you’ve always loved, but with a crisp, delicate and delicious twist.”
The Same Cookie-to-Filling Ratio
At the launch, Mondelez said Thins have a similar cookie-to-filling ratio to the original cookie, except that they are slimmer. The difference is the size of the cookie, not the balance between wafer and creme.
Launched July 13, 2015
OREO Thins became available nationwide in the United States on July 13, 2015, in Original, Golden, and Mint, as a permanent addition to the OREO line. They had first been launched in China in 2014. No Mondelez press release for the US launch was found for this page; the date rests on Associated Press coverage and trade press quoting Mondelez directly.
Texture: What the Official Copy Says
This section uses only the words oreo.com itself uses. The product pages call Thins “crisp” and “delicate,” and describe a “crispier texture for less crumbs and more crunch” — or, on the Golden and Lemon pages, “fewer crumbs.” The Thins Chocolate page adds one more phrase, quoted here directly from oreo.com: “a lighter, crispier take on Original OREO cookies.” This page does not go beyond that copy: it does not describe the taste or texture in its own words, and it does not call Thins lighter as its own claim.
OREO Thins Nutrition by Flavor
Every Thins flavor below is given per label serving. Five flavors share the same serving — 4 cookies (29 g) — and the same 140 calories. Thins Extra Stuf is the exception, with a serving of 3 cookies (26 g) and 130 calories. The dashes in the Tiramisu row mean those figures were not verified for this page, not that they are zero.
| Variant | Serving | Calories | Total fat | Sat fat | Sodium | Carbs | Fiber | Sugars | Added | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thins Chocolate | 4 cookies (29 g) | 140 | 6 g | 2 g | 95 mg | 21 g | 1 g | 12 g | 12 g | 1 g |

About 35 calories per cookie across the four-cookie flavors, and about 43 calories per cookie for Extra Stuf. The ingredient lists follow two patterns: the chocolate-wafer Thins and the creme-flavored Thins (Mint, Tiramisu, Extra Stuf) list sugar first, while Golden and Lemon list unbleached enriched flour first. Every flavor checked states “Contains: Wheat, Soy.” Milk is not an ingredient in any of them, but milk cross-contact is possible on shared equipment, as explained on Are OREO Cookies Vegan?.
The Flavors
Thins Chocolate
Thins Chocolate is the chocolate-wafer Thins, with original OREO creme between thin chocolate wafers. It was launched as Thins Original in 2015; “Original” was the launch name for this flavor, and the product is now sold as Thins Chocolate. One serving is 4 cookies (29 g): 140 calories, 12 g of sugars, 95 mg of sodium.
Thins Golden
Thins Golden packs the Golden OREO flavor into a thin cookie: thin golden wafers with original OREO creme. One serving is 4 cookies (29 g): 140 calories, 11 g of sugars, 95 mg of sodium. The oreo.com copy says it packs “the scrumptious flavor of Golden OREO cookies into a delicate cookie with a crispier texture and fewer crumbs.”
Thins Mint
Thins Mint pairs thin chocolate wafers with a mint flavored creme filling. One serving is 4 cookies (29 g): 140 calories, 12 g of sugars, 95 mg of sodium. The ingredient list adds peppermint oil, plus Yellow 5 Lake and Blue 1 Lake for color.
Thins Lemon
Thins Lemon pairs thin golden wafers with a lemon flavored creme filling. One serving is 4 cookies (29 g): 140 calories, 11 g of sugars, 95 mg of sodium. The ingredient list adds citric acid and annatto extract for color.
Thins Tiramisu
Thins Tiramisu pairs thin chocolate wafers with a tiramisu flavored creme filling. One serving is 4 cookies (29 g): 140 calories, 11 g of sugars, 95 mg of sodium. It was announced as a permanent addition to the Thins line on March 4, 2024. Its full panel was not verified for this page: total fat, carbohydrate, fiber, and protein are left blank in the table above rather than filled in from the pattern of the other flavors.
Thins Extra Stuf
Thins Extra Stuf is the Thins answer to Double Stuf: thin chocolate wafers “filled with even more original OREO creme.” Its serving is different from the rest of the line — 3 cookies (26 g), with 130 calories, 12 g of sugars, and 70 mg of sodium. It was listed at US retailers checked in November 2026. There is no product called Thins Double Stuf; Extra Stuf is the product with more creme in the thin format.
Thins vs Regular OREO
The headline comparison is 140 calories for 4 Thins against 160 calories for 3 regular OREO cookies. Those servings weigh different amounts — 29 g against 34 g — so the comparison is not a per-gram reduction. Per gram, the figures are close: about 4.8 calories per gram for Thins against about 4.7 for Original.
| Cookie | Serving | Calories | About per cookie | Sodium | Sugars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thins Chocolate | 4 cookies (29 g) | 140 | About 35 | 95 mg | 12 g |
| Original OREO | 3 cookies (34 g) | 160 | About 53 | 130 mg | 14 g |
| Double Stuf OREO | 2 cookies (29 g) | 140 | About 70 | 90 mg | 13 g |

On dunking, the record changed. At the 2015 launch, Mondelez said Thins “isn’t meant to be twisted or dunked,” presenting it as a more grown-up snack for adults. The current oreo.com product pages say the opposite in practice: the Thins Mint and Thins Lemon pages describe the cookies as “great… to dunk in a glass of cold milk.” Both statements are given here with their dates, and this page does not resolve them into one rule.
How People Use OREO Thins
The official copy presents Thins as a snack for coffee and conversation — Thins Golden is “a great snack to enjoy while chatting with your best friends over coffee” — and for milk, parties, and topping ice cream. The Tiramisu page adds “feature in a dessert recipe.” These are uses from the product copy, not recipes, and this page gives no quantities or times.
What OREO Thins Are Not
- Not a diet cookie. Thins are a thinner cookie, not a product positioned around dieting, and this page makes no weight or diet claim.
- Not a lower-calorie cookie per gram. Four Thins (29 g) have 140 calories and three regular OREO cookies (34 g) have 160 calories; per gram the figures are close.
- Not gluten-free. No gluten-free Thins product is listed on oreo.com.
- Not a Double Stuf. There is no Thins Double Stuf. The Thins product with more creme is Thins Extra Stuf, with its own serving of 3 cookies (26 g).
- Not a global claim. Everything on this page describes the US product; availability and formulations in other markets are not claimed here.
