Cake Mix Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line two 12-count cupcake/muffin pans with baking cups. Add one cookie to the bottom of each liner.

Make the cake batter according to package directions and add batter into each cup until you’ve used all of your mix. Bake cupcakes according to package directions, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer cupcakes to a cooling rack.

While cupcakes are cooling, make the icing. Crush the sandwich cookies in a food processor.

In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla and beat again. At this point you can add an additional tablespoon of milk if a thinner frosting is desired. Stir in crushed cookies and then add frosting into a piping bag with the tip of your choice. Frost cooled cupcakes and enjoy!
