I love cupcakes. They are probably one of my favorite desserts. When my birthday comes around, I always opt for cupcakes rather than a cake.

These Oreo cupcakes are amazing and perfect for any party! You'll love the Oreo stuffed cupcake and Cookies and Cream frosting.

If you love Oreos, you might also like our Oreo Fudge,  Oreo Toffee and Peppermint Oreo Balls.

Ingredients:
1 box Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix (plus required eggs, oil and water as directed on box) – can sub
any box of chocolate cake mix if not GF.
2 packages Gluten Free chocolate sandwich cookies (if you’re not GF, you can simply use 1 regular
package of Oreos. I’ve found the Gluten Free brands includes about half the amount of cookies as a
regular package of Oreos).
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup butter, softened
3 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A piece of chocolate cake on a plate, with Cookie and CupcakeDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

each.
3. Prepare cake mix according to box directions.
4. Take half of the remaining chocolate sandwich cookies and place them in a ziplock bag and
crush the cookies (a rolling pin worked nicely for this!). Dump the broken up cookie crumbles
(cream filling and all) into the chocolate cake mix and combine.

that will plug up the tip. Simply use a toothpick to push through the end of frosting tip and break
up the chunk to allow the frosting to flow back through.
