These fun cupcakes give you 3 cookies in one! I call them Cookie Crazy Cupcakes!
So I have an invention, y’all.
I wish I could keep it a secret, but I suck at secrets.
So don’t go stealing my idea, kay?
It’s called a “psycho-sensor”.
Here’s the back-story on my invention…
At the ripe old age of thiry-something-ish I made the executive decision to banish all crazy people from my life.
BANISH!
When I was younger I had more time for drama…well, maybe not time, but I allowed it around me more often than not. I didn’t have it in me to tell the drama creators to “go scratch”.
But, I hit my thirties and suddenly didn’t have the time or patience for crazy. Certainly they sneak through the cracks every now and then…or sometimes you just WANT someone to be a good person, but all the will in the land can’t force them from the dark side.
So. I have to say that life is calmer, more fun and people know where you stand when you don’t “do crazy”. It’s a fact.
But here’s the problem…sometimes people like to disguise as normal, when really they are imposters. We’ll call them undercover crazies…all normal and such on the outside, all Real Housewife on the inside.
That’s why you need a patented psycho-sensor. I will soon be selling it on QVC…just you wait.
In my mind’s eye it looks like a headlamp…that way people can see you’re crazy-busting-butt from a mile away.
So, block the crazies, ditch the crazies or drop kick those crazies right out of your hair…they cause frizz for real…and only allow crazy in the form of a cupcake into your inner circle.
And do I have one for you today.
Oh yes siree.
This cupcake has got it goin’ on…
Oreos? Check.
Chocolate Chip Cookie? Check?
Biscoff? Checkity check check.
That’s 3 cookies in one cupcake.
Cah-razzzy.
Here are the dirties…
Make some cookie dough. I used the recipe for the dough from THIS sweet girl’s post.
Form the dough into heaping tablespoon sized balls.
Freeze the dough-balls for at least an hour…you want them to be TOTALLY frozen solid so the dough doesn’t cook inside the cupcake.
When the dough is frozen you can start assembling the cupcakes.
I used a vanilla boxed cake mix for the cupcake portion, but feel free to get all scratchy on me, I won’t be mad.
Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners and drop a whole Oreo in there.
Fill your cupcake liner with 1/8 cup batter…with the Oreo in there you will need less than usual.
Then plop a frozen dough ball right in the batter.
Your dough will poke it’s head out a little bit. No worries.
Bake the cupcakes for 20 minutes. They will look like this.
Then you need to make some frosting. To complete the trifecta of cookies I used Biscoff cookie spread in my frosting. If you aren’t able to find Biscoff in your supermarket, you can certainly order some…OR sub peanut butter in it’s place. Ahh, yes, peanut butter would be good here.
Then frost those crazies.
And then eat.
That’s why we’re here, yes?
Psycho-sensor activate!

Oh my… looks like you frosted by way of dolloping an ice cream scoopful of frosting. Am I correct? Love that style!!
These are absolute insanity!!! Sign me up! lol
I also hate drama & crazies, but I love cookies-especially when they are in cupcakes! These are definitely going on my “must make” list!
HOLY CUPCAKE. I can’t even really imagine how great these must taste.
No, this isn’t cookie “crazy”, this is full-on, totally cookie psychosis. Like, INSANELY MENTAL COOKIE PSYCHOSIS. I love it & wouldn’t want it any other way… except, a whole batch of ones like this and for research purposes, a whole batch of the PB frosted ones 🙂
Oh yes, you are a cookie cupcake genius! These looks ah-mazing!
Crazy imposters? Oh my goodness yes! There are!
I wish I knew what crazy incident prompted this post! I’m sure it was super juicy, like an episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey – the one where they yell and scream profanities and rip each other’s hair out! Yeah, that one.
Great recipe, by the way 🙂 The picture of the inside of the cupcake makes me want to dig in!
Oh, if you only knew, my friend 🙂
I still can’t believe what my eyes just saw!!! AMAZING creation!
Am I crazy sitting here snacking on YOGURT?? I want these cupcakes ….. now!
This is like a holy trinity of cookies creating one amazingly perfect cupcake. I’m smitten! That last picture with the cupcake cut open is just the BEST. 😀
