Baking with Maddie

I already posted a recipe about the death by oreo cupcakes, but this time I made it with Madison and actually got some pictures. I am going to post the recipe on this post, in case you missed the other post. Maddie loves to help with anything, especially cooking or baking. As soon as I started to make this, she started screaming 'me help, me help' at me. I took the chance and snapped a few pictures while I was at it. :) Enjoy!

Ingredient

1 pkg oreos, regular size 1 pkg mini oreos, for decoration 1 pkg chocolate cake mix 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

 8 Tbsp butter, room temperature
 3 3/4 c powdered sugar
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 cupcake liners




Directions
1.   Preheat oven to 350. Mix packaged cake mix according to directions. (Do not bake.) 

2.   Line cupcake tins with liner, place an regular size oreo cookie in the bottom of each one

3.   Take 1/2 of remaining cookies and chop coarsely and add to cake mix. Fill the cupcake tins. Bake for 15 min (or according to box directions). While cupcakes are baking make the frosting.

4.   Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla, then add powdered sugar slowly until blended well.

5.   Chop remaining regular-sized Oreos very fine. Add to frosting.

6.   After cupcakes are cool put frosting on and decorate with a few mini oreos on top

After dinner, Maddie had to taste her cupcakes and see how they turned out! :) I think I got the approval!

I will say that these cupcakes are delicious!


Hope you enjoy!
