Believe it or not, I despised Oreo cookies for most of my life. I always thought they were too chocolaty and just made me super thirsty. I don’t know when I became a fan but I did. Boy did I. Cupcakes, on the other hand, was always a love of mine. Give me a cupcake and a cup of coffee and I am one happy girl. So yeah, I threw Oreo cookies into the cupcake batter and frosting and they were divine. The cupcakes are very chocolaty but the frosting balances everything out.
