Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

In this instructable, I will show you how to make cookies and cream cupcakes.

For this recipe you will need:

3 c all purpose flour

3c sugar

1 1/2 c buttermilk

1 1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 c warm water

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 c veg oil

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp baking soda

4 eggs

First, using the electric mixer, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Now add the eggs, buttermilk, water, oil and vanilla until everything is mixed together.

Spray your cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray, or line with cupcake liners and fill each about half-way.

Bake in an oven that's been preheated to 350° for about 20 minutes, or until you can stick a fork/toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.

While your cupcakes are cooling down, you can make the frosting.

For the frosting, you will need:

1 16 oz bag of powdered sugar

13 oreos

1/8 tsp salt

1/3 c whipping cream

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 c butter, softened

Using the electric mixer, beat the butter for a couple of minutes.

Add a little of the powdered sugar and cream, alternating between the two until everything is mixed together.

Now mix in the vanilla and salt.

Put the oreos in a ziplock bag and crush.

Stir the cookies into the frosting.

Frost the cupcakes.

You can then cut an oreo in half to place on top of each cupcake.
