The problem I have with Oreos and milk is making the ends meet. I
always end up either with extra milk or not enough to dunk the
remaining cookie. In the first case, that requires another cookie (or
two) to finish up the milk. In the second case, I have to add more
milk to cover the cookie. It's not easy to even up the cookie to milk
ratio. So the reason I end up eating a whole stack of cookies is
because of an accounting problem, not lack of willpower

In any event, the upshot is that I cannot keep cookies at home.
