Oreo Cookies, not my most favourite biscuits out there but everyone seems to love them! i must admit though i do love cookies n cream ice cream and the frosting on these cupcakes is pretty good too!

my Husband loves them and was quick to pick this flavour when i said i would bake some cupcakes for his staff meeting, hope the boys like em!

Oreo Cookie Cupcakes:

makes 12 Texas cupcakes

125g Butter softened

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

3/4 of caster sugar

2 free range eggs

1& 1/2 cups of standard flour

1& 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 a cup of milk

let cool

Oreo Cookie Frosting:

200g of room temp butter

3 cups of icing sugar

about 2 - 4 tablespoons of milk

1/2 a packet of Oreo Cookies blitzed to death - i used my magic bullet to reduce the cookies down to a very fine dust - you will need the cookies as fine as possible so it will fit through your piping bag

beat the butter till pale and fluffy

sift in the icing sugar then add Oreo cookie dust, start to beat slowly add milk a tablespoon at a time until you get the right consistency

pipe on to your cupcake then decorate i used a whole Oreo cookie pressed into the icing to decorate
