We'll start with a homemade vanilla cupcake batter that's mixed with crushed Oreos featuring an Oreo surprise at the bottom and a topping of fluffy cookies and cream frosting.

Frosting
1/2cupunsalted butter
1cuppowdered sugar
3Oreos3-4 Oreos, crushed - pulsed in a food processor
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line your baking tray with liners and keep aside.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the butter and sugar together till it’s light and creamy, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add the flour and milk in batches alternatively in the butter mixture.
Add the crushed Oreos and mix well.
Place one whole Oreo at the bottom and Fill your liner up to 3/4 with the batter and bake for 25-30 mins or till the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Once baked, let them cool completely before frosting.
In a large bowl, cream the butter for 1-2 mins till it’s light and creamy.
Add the sugar in batches and keep mixing.
Then add the crushed Oreos and mix and decorate your cupcakes as you like.
Notes
About 12 Oreos will be crushed, and 12 will be used whole (at the bottom of the cupcakes). Don't crush them altogether, unless you want the cupcake batter to have a finer crumb like you'll want for the frosting. We like to keep the cookies for the batter a bit thicker than the cookies for the frosting. To crush Oreos for the frosting, place them in a food processor and pulse. For the batter, place the Oreos in a large ziptop bag and roll with a rolling pin.
