I first made these cupcakes for my friend Katie's birthday a few years ago (I cannot believe it's been YEARS since first made these). I asked her mom, who also taught at our school, what kind of cupcake to make for her and she just said, "Chocolate." Well, okay then. I can get with that! Chocolate cupcake, chocolate cookies, chocolatey buttercream...yum. I really have no idea why I haven't made them since because if I had to choose a store bought cookie to eat, it would be Oreo's. Separated, together, dunked in milk - Oreo's are a favorite pastime, that's for sure. I split the cookies in half and put one on the bottom of each paper liner. They ended up floating to the top of the batter so instead of cookie on the bottom, they were cookie under buttercream. I'm pretty sure that happened because the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate cake batter is pretty thin. If you were to use a thicker batter, they cookies would probably stay on the bottom. Either way I think it would be delicious! To pipe the buttercream, I just cut the tip of the piping bag off. I tried using several tips but my cookies weren't crushed small enough. So either just cut the tip of the bag off or really crush the cookies. Using a food processor would ensure small crumbs.

2 cups | sugar |
1 3/4 cups | all-purpose flour |
3/4 cups | cocoa powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons | baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons | baking soda |
1 teaspoon | salt |

15 Oreo's, split open (for the bottom of the cupcake liners) 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners. Place one half of an Oreo into the bottom of each cupcake liner and set aside. 2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined. 3. Stir in boiling water (batter will be very thin). Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a tester comes out with only a few crumbs attached. 4. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely. For the buttercream | |
