Everyone's favorite cookie, transformed into a creamy, dreamy frosting, packed with bits of real cookies and cream in every bite!
This frosting tastes just like the filling of an Oreo cookie, which for me is like heaven. It is perfectly luscious and creamy with crunchy bits of cookie all throughout. I like to do a combo of shortening and butter for the base of this frosting, instead of all butter, to give it a really authentic cream filling flavor, that tastes just like the center of an Oreo cookie. My favorite part!
When I was a kid I used to scrape off the cream filling and pile it up as tall as I could between 2 cookies, I couldn't get enough. Piled high on a fudgy chocolate cupcake and a mini Oreo cookie on top, these cupcakes are a favorite of kids and adults alike!
You can use this stuff on anything, from cupcakes, to cake, to brownies. Any way you use it, everyone will be obsessing over how delish this stuff is!
