Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
Ingredients needed:
1 Box White Cake Mix of your choice (plus ingredients required on box)
I package Double Stuff Oreos
1 8oz. package cream cheese, room temperature
1 box powdered sugar (4 cups) more or less to taste
1 tsp Vanilla
1 stick of butter, room temperature
I package Double Stuff Oreos
1 8oz. package cream cheese, room temperature
1 box powdered sugar (4 cups) more or less to taste
1 tsp Vanilla
1 stick of butter, room temperature
Preparation:
- Twist apart Double Stuff Oreos and place the halves with cream, cream side up in cupcake paper cups. The other cookie half goes in a plastic bag to be crushed. Continue until all paper cups have an Oreo in the bottom. Add four whole Oreos to the bag of cookie halves and crush. I like to keep some chunks but it's really about preference!
- Prepare a boxed white cake mix according to directions and fold in the Oreo pieces. Fill each cupcake wrap 2/3 full over the Oreo and bake for 16 minutes or until the tops are spongy and return when pressed.
- For the frosting, you can go for cream cheese frosting (which is my favorite!) or you can even go the easiest route with store bought fudge icing!
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 box of powdered sugar (4 cups) - more or less to taste
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
Top each cupcake with the yummy frosting of your choice and few crushed cookie pieces on top! Ta-da! Impressive cookies & cream cupcakes with a surprise in the bottom!
A word of caution though - these go so fast, so be prepared to make extras!
