I haven’t been doing much baking lately because it has been too hot. But we’ve cooled down over the last couple of days, and I started feeling the baking itch. During my internet surfing, I came across this recipe from the Food and Wine Magazine website. It looked pretty easy and I had all the ingredients, except for the Oreo cookies.
I followed the directions for the cupcakes as posted, but I made my own frosting. I wanted something that would let the flavor of the Oreo cookies come through, but that wasn’t super sweet. I ended up whipping about a cup of whipping cream with a tablespoon or so of powdered sugar. Once the cream was whipped, I folded in some crushed Oreos.
The cake part of these cupcakes was really soft and moist. The cupcakes fell a bit, though (next time I’ll reduce the baking soda to 1/2 teaspoon). The whipped cream softens the cookie pieces, and the whole thing melds together very nicely.
I WANT PIE.
Grandchildren would eat these so fast I wouldn’t have time to get them cooled enough to frost them. Will have to do this next time I have the herd here. They will be eating the frosting before I get it made tho. Kelsie loves Oreo’s.
Oh no, you did NOT just give me a link to Oreo cup cakes recipe! Of all the things I love to eat, Oreos get me in the most trouble. I cannot control myself. I so want to make these! Now, I need an occasion so that I won’t have a chance to eat the whole batch… have to think about that one. These look so good and I love the sound of the frosting that you made better than theirs. You are quite clever!
