Oreo Cupcakes!! yum yum


These are with out a doubt the best Oreo cakes I have ever ate!! In this recipe there are Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. That's right, you put a whole Oreo at the bottom of the cake & everyone loves that surprise. The cookie stays firm, which makes it a little interesting to eat against the soft cake, but in reality it gives it a rather nice crunch. Overall this is an amazing cupcake. I make them for every family get together, and not only do the kids rave about them, but the adults love them as well!!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 package Oreo Cookies (regular size)
  • 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional)
  • 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
  • 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cupcake liners
Instructions for cupcakes:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • Mix packaged cake mix according to directions (do not bake).
  •  Line cupcake tins with liner, place a regular size Oreo cookie in the bottom of each liner. 
  • Take 1/2 of remaining cookies and chop coarsely and add to cake mix. Fill the cupcake tins. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes (or according to box directions). 
While cupcakes are baking make the frosting.

Instruction for frosting:


  • Cream together butter and cream cheese. 
  • Add vanilla, then add powdered sugar slowly until blended well. 
  • Chop remaining regular-sized Oreos very fine (I put the cookies in the zip-loc and crushed them by hitting them, instead of trying to chop them up super fine and it worked out really well). Add to frosting. 
After cupcakes have cooled frost and decorate with Mini Oreos.
