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!

Notes

I made these cupcakes before and they were wonderful. However, I used a eletric oven, which I am used to, but this time I am using a gas oven. Is there a difference in time and temperature?
There shouldn’t be, as long as the oven temperature is accurate!
I made these for my birthday, out of control! So sweet and delicious!
Awesome!!
I made these this past weekend for my husband’s birthday. They are sooooooooooooooo delicious! I’ve been eating them for breakfast and lunch…and maybe I had one for an early dinner yesterday. The Biscoff frosting is to…die…for…
Gotta go exercise now…no kidding…
I have never had a cookie-dough filled cupcake of any kind, but I don’t know how much longer I can hold out after seeing these! Wow!
Oh MY Gosh!!!! I love this post! I’ve too gotten rid of some impostors who were creeping in and around my life…2!!!!
I plan to make these crazy sensor cupcakes!!! I plan to follow you! I think you are so fun and I love your blog site!!! It’s fun and crazy true!!!! Love ya…my New BF!!!!:)
My goodness…Maybe those little bits of pleasure should be against the law…YUM!
I just made these! I was worried all the ingredients wouldn’t fit into the cupcake tin but they magically did! I couldn’t find the Biscoff spread at the store and since I plan to send these to work with my husband, I may just leave them unfrosted, they look so pretty without the frosting!
I will make thesebecause they look like somehthing my friends would like. but I’m also thinking with the bicoff, I might just try the biscoff cookies(I currently have a package and would have to break them in two to make them fit, but that’s okay) and cinnamon chips. Does that sound good?
Sometimes your posts make me angry because they are so amazing and decadent! I get “crazy” mad that I did not come up with something so fantastic. But then I get happy because I realize that you actually help make become more creative. You definetly inspire!
I am NOT into crazies AT ALL. I need a sensor though because I never catch them. What’s worse is that I always get me feeling hurt when i figure it out. But seriously smart move to keep the crazies away. They’ll eat you from the inside out. Kicking them works too though!
