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!

Yum-o-licious!! I love the scoop of icing on top! 🙂
oh, my heavens! These are cah-razy!! But in a good way. Super yummy! Now, about ordering that psycho-sensor…
At first i thought not for me but when I saw photo 7 I was yum..and photo 10 Im printing and making these today. Luv it!
AAAHHHMMMAAZZZIIINNGG!!! That’s a cookie, I mean cupcake, out of a dream… Wow! I can’t wait to make it! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!!
You have got to be kidding me with how amazing these look! YESSS 🙂
3 cookies in one cupcake? That does sounds crazy, but I love it!!! And they look really good! : )
Wow…those are incredible looking! So creative…they might just be the PERFECT cupcake!
Wait! My husband, after viewing this has requested these for his birthday. I skimmed by the peanut butter part because he doesn’t like the stuff (what?!?!) What should I use for frosting?…it has look like the picture!
Actually I didn’t use peanut butter, read through the recipe and you will see I used “Biscoff” spread which is like a cookie/graham cracker type spread…it’s SO delicious. It looks like peanut butter but doesn’t taste like it at all! If you don’t want to use either of those, you can use Nutella, or even crush up some Oreos and stir them into vanilla frosting to make an Oreo frosting!
My apologies. I didn’t check the link (very naughty) and I assumed it was some kind of peanut buttery substitute. Had I looked, I would never have written anything because I would have been on my way to the store…
I bought it today. Sticky, gooey crack in a jar…thank you very much. I hid it in the back of the cabinet…I need to forget….
Seriously, this is what the crazies make you do?? Bake giant cookies disguised as cupcakes with an ice cream scoop amount of frosting??! Thank you, crazies!
I’ve had enough crazies in my life to last me a lifetime. And enough frizz. I’d rather take BOTH in cupcake form!
