Oreo Cookie Cakes

Cake:
1 cup softened butter
3 cups packed brown sugar
4 eggs
3 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
3/4 cup dark chocolate cocoa
3 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups strongly brewed coffee, cool
1 1/3 cups sour cream

1. Cream together butter and brown sugar and vanilla.

2. Add in eggs, one at a time.

3. Stir in vanilla.

4. In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda.

5. Add dry ingredients to creamed ingredients alternately with coffee and sour cream.

6. Scoop into a muffin pan lined with cupcake papers, mostly full.

7. Bake at 350 for about 18 to 20 minutes or until set.

8. Cool and Frost!



Oreo Cookie Frosting

1 8oz pkg. cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
3 cups finely crushed Oreo Cookies
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 cups powder sugar
1/4 cup milk (May need more for consistency)

1. Mix together cream cheese, vanilla, and powder sugar.

2. Add in Oreo cookies and milk.

3. Whip until the frosting looks very chocolatey and consistency is spreadable. (You may need to add more milk for this.)

4. Frost cooled cupcakes and top with a mini Oreo Cookie.

TIP: I put my frosting in a heavy duty Ziploc freezer bag, cut off the tip, and pipe it onto the cupcakes.
