To sign *Oreo*, start by holding your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing up. Form a 'C' shape with your dominant hand, as if you are holding a round cookie. Bring your dominant hand down so your fingertips and thumb tap against your non-dominant palm. Note: This video demonstrates the standard sign for *cookie*, which is frequently used for Oreos, though many signers also fingerspell O-R-E-O.
Sign 'I', 'love', the sign for 'Oreo' (cookie), and then mimic dipping a cookie into a glass of milk.
Point to the person, sign 'want', sign 'Oreo', and point back to them while raising your eyebrows to ask a yes/no question.
Sign 'my', 'favorite', 'cookie', and then you can either sign 'Oreo' again or fingerspell O-R-E-O for clarity.

There isn't one universal sign exclusively for Oreo. Most signers either use the general sign for 'cookie' (as shown in the video) or simply fingerspell O-R-E-O, which is very common and natural for short brand names.
Yes! Some signers 'initialize' the sign by using an 'O' handshape while tapping the palm. This helps specify that you are talking about an Oreo rather than a generic chocolate chip cookie.
The full, formal sign for 'cookie' involves tapping the palm, twisting your hand slightly, and tapping again (like cutting multiple cookies out of dough). However, in fast, casual signing, a single tap is often used.
