Place vanilla cookies into the bottom of cupcake liners. Fill liners 3/4 full and bake at 350ºF for 18 minutes. Let cool completely. Frost with vanilla cookies and cream frosting.

For garnish, take the extra 8 cookies and break into quarters. Top each cupcake with 1 piece of cookie.

For the frosting:
Finely crush enough vanilla cookies to make 1 cup. Set aside. In a mixing bowl cream the butter and shortening. Add the cream, vanilla, and salt and cream again. Slowly add the powdered sugar until all incorporated. Add the finely chopped cookie crumbs and mix again.
