Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes with Cookies and Cream Frosting

I made these cookies for Ezra's 2nd birthday last Friday!  I can't believe my tiny baby is already 2!  The way he eats cupcakes really hasn't changed much since his first birthday.  He looks at it for a minute, deciding if it's ok to eat, and then he stuffs it all in his face and slowly works it into his mouth.  Funny kid!  There was no doubt he enjoyed these, and his daddy and I did too!

Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes with Cookies and Cream Frosting
From Baked Perfection

For the cupcakes:
1 package chocolate cake mix
1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream (I used 2% Greek yogurt instead)
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups chopped Oreo cookies

In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mix, sour cream/yogurt, oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and water. Gently stir in the Oreos and divide batter into 24 lined muffin cups.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before icing.

For the frosting:
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
12 Oreo cookies, finely chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Beat butter and cream cheese with until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add salt and vanilla; mix until smooth. Gently stir Oreos into the frosting. Frost cupcakes as desired. Store any remaining frosting in the fridge.
