#22: Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

In September, I started a cupcake adventure. If you haven't read about it yet, you can do so here. ***

In the Kids' Cupcakes section of the book, there is a recipe for Cookies & Cream Cupcakes. Um, YUM!

You start by adding a bunch of crushed-up Oreo cookies to the vanilla batter.

Cream the two together to make the most amazing white-chocolate icing to spread on your cupcakes. (It's reminiscent of the cream filling in an Oreo).
