My daughter has been asking for Cookies and Cream cupcakes since having them last year at a birthday party. I love making fun cupcake recipes, so I knew this would be a great one to try.
I finally got around to making them last weekend and they are SO good!
Cookies and Cream Cupcakes Recipe
Cupcake Ingredients
Boxed white cake mix (I like this kind)
3 Large Eggs
1/2 cup melted butter (not margarine)
1 cup of water
1 package of Oreo cookies (24 used in cupcakes, remainder as garnish)
Cupcake Instructions
1. Preheat over to 350. Line cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liner cups. I love to use these.
2. Split 24 Oreo cookies into halves leaving the cream filling on one side (use a sharp knife if needed).
3. Break the cookie sides without cream into small pieces and set aside.
4. Place the cookie sides with cream into the cupcake liners with the cream side up.
5. In a large bowl, add cake mix, eggs, melted butter and water. Mix on low for one minute until ingredients are combined and then switch to high for approximately one minute until batter is thick and creamy.
6. Fold crushed Oreo cookie pieces into cupcake batter.
7. Spoon cupcake batter into cupcake liners on top of the Oreo cream cookie side.
8. Bake for 20 minutes at 350.
Cream Cheese Icing
10 Tbsp butter, firm but not cold
10 oz cream cheese, cold
2 1 /2 Tbsp sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5 cups powdered sugar
Remaining Oreos for topping and garnish
1. Cut or break 12 cookies in half, leaving each side sandwiched with cream in between the two pieces. Split remaining cookies apart and remove cream filling. Finely crush the cookie pieces and set aside.
Hope you love them as much as we do! If you love the Cookies & Cream Cupcakes, be sure to try the Heart in the Middle Cupcakes and Strawberry Filled Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting too!
Let me know if you make them – I’d love to see your pics! 🙂

My youngest daughter would love these. Everything she buys is cookies n cream, her ice cream, yogurts, etc. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing. That’s all I need to say. I made theses for my sons first birthday party today. I did a double batch and well we have non left. Thanks for helping me WOW my guests. I have a picture but I don’t know how I can post it from my phone.
That’s great! I’m so glad they were a hit. 🙂
I have a daughter and grandson who would love this recipe. They get everything cookies n cream and these look easy and delicious
Wow my grandsons would go crazy for these! They are oreo fanatics! Looks delicious!
I made these cupcakes and they are delicious. The only trouble that I had was with the frosting. My frosting was turning out to be more of an icing rather than an actual frosting. I then added in the leftover cream cheese and it got it thick enough to be an actual frosting. So instead of using 10 oz of cream cheese I used 16 oz of cream cheese.
These are almost too pretty to eat! But I can assure you, that won’t stop us!
Wow. Made these today and they are so yum!
yummy these look so good. The family will love these. We like the cookies and cream ice cream too. These would make a great pair for a kids birthday party. Thanks for the recipe
These look so pretty! Pinned for later and thank you for posting.
These look wonderful and tasty too! I love cupcakes and sweet things probably a little too much. I would be in heaven with these in front of me. Thanks for the recipe and idea!
oh yum – these look so good. I have never eaten these kind before. cant wait to make them for our next get together at my sons house Thanks for the recipe and pictures
I’m looking forward to making these today for my daughter’s second birthday cupcakes.
She loves cookies, even though she doesn’t get cookies very often. These look fantastic and delicious.
Oh my goodness! These look incredible! I have never seen a cupcake that looked like this. I have got to try and make these. Thanks for the recipe!!
