Hi, Becky, Gail and all, The recipe for Oreo Cookie cake instructs that you cut the cookies into quarters. They need to be in pieces, not crumbs because they are folded into the cake and visually, make darker streaks throughout after the cake is baked; this affect would not occur if the cookies were crushed.
You can use a food processor to crush the cookies, but it would drastically change this recipe. I've made this cake for years; it is always a success. It is worth the few minutes it takes to cut the cookies; I use a paper plate which keeps all the cookies together and it's easy then to get them into the cake batter. Happy Cooking!
