WWEW: The BEST Oreo Cupcake Recipe

Good Morning!
Okay, so today's recipe isn't your typical dinner recipe, well I will admit it is, occasionally, for me :) Today I am going to share a delicious Oreo Cupcake recipe that I tried a while ago. I just made them yesterday for a family BBQ that we went to. They were a hit!

The recipe is also really easy! I don't quite remember where I originally saw this recipe, but I can't take credit for coming up with it. Here it is:
Ingredients
1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size
1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional)
1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box)
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cupcake liners

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix packaged cake mix according to directions (do not bake). Line cupcake tins with liner, place a regular size Oreo cookie in the bottom of each liner. Take 1/2 of remaining cookies and chop coarsely and add to cake mix. Fill the cupcake tins. Bake for 15 minutes (or according to box directions). While cupcakes are baking make the frosting.

Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla, then add powdered sugar slowly until blended well. Chop remaining regular-sized Oreos very fine (I put the cookies in the food processor instead of trying to chop them up super fine and it worked out really well). Add to frosting. After cupcakes have cooled frost and decorate with Mini Oreos.
