Oh man, cookies and cream cupcakes. I’ve been wanting to make these for ages, ever since I saw them on some food blog months ago. cookies and cream ice-cream = awesome. cupcakes = awesome. cookies and cream + cupcakes = MIND BOGGLING~

I just used my favourite~ cupcake recipe from The Edmonds Cookbook and threw in three quarters of a packet of crushed oreos to the cupcake batter and then used the remaining biscuits in the icing and for sprinkling on top.

I am eating one of these right now, BE JEALOUS.

Cupcakes

2 eggs
1 cup flour

(3/4 packet crushed oreo biscuits) 

Cream butter, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour and baking powder together. Fold into creamed mixture. Stir in milk. (add crushed biscuits). Place 18 paper patty cases in patty tins. Spoon mixture evenly into paper cases. Bake at 190C for 15min or until cakes spring back when lightly touched. Transfer to wire rack. When cold decorate as wished.
