Yesterday was my mother-in-law’s birthday, so I needed to whip up something easy yet substantial. I headed over to my friend Natalie’s baking blog, Bake and Destroy, to find the perfect recipe. The cookies and cream cupcakeswere a perfect fit. Crushed oreos folded into white cake batter, more oreos mixed into the icing, and an oreo half baked into the cupcake (placed in the bottom of the liner before baking). The only change I made was using double stuf oreos and keeping all of the icing on one side for the cookies in the bottom. So delicious…they were gone in two days.
Ah, good to know doublestuffs work too. I used holiday Oreos when I made mine, so the frosting was bright red. It makes the cupcakes really weird and gory looking…which of course, is why I liked them.
