#1,467: Oreo Brownie Cupcake

Matthew turns 3 today.  (Big sob)  How is this boy turning three already?!  Wasn't I just pregnant with him?  Sigh....

Anyhow, I decided to make a recipe that I've been dying to try since it combines two of his favorite things...brownies and cookies.  His daddy was more than willing to test these as soon as they came out of the oven too.  The original recipe I found for these were even better because they add peanut butter on top of each Oreo (heaven!).  But Matthew is allergic to peanut butter so we omitted it from this recipe.  I debated about using almond butter but was honestly too lazy to add it.  

These are SO good.  They were super simple to make and I ended up getting 12 cupcakes plus a small cake pan with the leftover cookies and batter.  Stupidly I forgot to spray the cake pan with non-stick spray so I can't get the dang cookies/brownies out, but whatever.

These did stick a little bit to my liners as well so you might want to spray those a bit too.  

1 Box Brownie Mix (plus ingredients listed on box!)

24 Oreo cookies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line up your 12 cup cupcake/muffin tray with paper liners. 

Prepare your brownie mix according to the directions on the box.

Place 2 Oreo’s on top of each other into the cupcake tray. Spoon 2 tablespoons of brownie batter over the Oreos and let it run down the sides of the cookies. Bake cookies and brownies between 18 to 20 minutes, until the brownies are cooked through. Let cool, then serve.
