Morphology
This is a straightforward brand-name + noun composition: knowing 'Oreo' (a specific type/brand of cookie) and 'cookie' allows a learner to infer it is the cookie made by the Oreo brand. Brand+product constructions are highly compositional and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand the meaning.
Etymology
Oreo cookie may come from the simple image of a tiny 'sandwich': two dark biscuits with white cream pressed between them. That's why Oreo cookie means the chocolate 'sandwich' cookie people often dunk in milk today.
