{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A grandmother and grandson are waiting to hear back from Guinness World Records about their 180-pound Oreo.
The social media famous duo, "Gangster Granny" and Ross Smith, made a world record attempt at baking the world’s largest Oreo cookie in early August.
With assistance from Ohio-based chefs Stephen Miller and Roddy Martin, Smith and his grandma set out to beat the record Guinness has on the books – a 161-pound and 13-ounce Oreo cookie that was baked at a Bahrain factory in 2018.

"We are in talks with Guinness World Records but they won’t have anyone come out for a few weeks, unfortunately," Smith told Fox News via email. "But as of now with weight and length (circumference) we are the largest in the world [at] 180 pounds and 4 feet wide."

The giant cookie was made with 72 pounds of butter, 25 pounds of pure sugar, 34 pounds of powdered sugar, 15 pounds of cocoa powder, 25 pounds of all-purpose flour, 90 eggs, 1.5 cups of vanilla, salt and baking soda.

"This has been one of the best experiences I have had in a long time, to see how amazing the cookie turned out. And oh boy was it delicious," said Granny, 95, in a statement sent to Fox News. "It’s going to take me another 95 years of life to finish this thing unless I get some help."

"My grandma and I have been making videos on the internet for over nine years now. We have over 65 million followers across all platforms," Smith said. "Our goal every day when we wake up is to make the world smile. And what better way to do so than to make the world’s biggest Oreo?"
He went on, "It was a blast to make and tasted even better. I am happy that I can share moments like this with my grandma while she’s young. It puts a smile to my face every time we can tackle a project like this together."
