Instructions

For the cupcakes:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2, 12 cup, muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
Stir together the dry cake mix with the dry pudding mix in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the eggs, oil, milk, and sour cream using the paddle attachment, roughly 2 minutes of mixing.
Fold in the 1-1/2 cups of crushed Oreo cookies.
Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter, about 1/4 cup.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until the tops are domed and spring back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the pans and transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely.

For the frosting:

Place the softened butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, keeping your mixer on low speed to fully incorporate.
Stir in the vanilla and heavy cream.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 4 minutes. You want the frosting nice and fluffy.
Fold in the crushed cookies using a spatula.
Spread or pipe onto your cupcakes.

Notes

This recipe will work best with cookies that have been finely crushed in a food processor or high powered blender. Pulse until they are fine crumbs, not chunks.
