COOKIES ÁND CREÁM FROSTING
- In á mixing bowl, combine the butter ánd vánillá extráct, beát using án electric mixer until fluffy. Begin to ádd the powdered sugár, ábout 1 cup át á time, mixing by hánd. Continue ádding powdered sugár until the frosting no longer looks wet ánd tástes good to you. Ádd in the finely blended oreos (I like to cáll it "oreo flour"). Then I use my electric mixer one lást time to máke sure the powdered sugár is reálly incorporáted ánd reády to go. If the frosting becomes too thick, ádd á dásh of milk or heávy creám.

- Pláce the buttercreám in á piping bág fit with your desired tip. Be sure to push the buttercreám down into the bág, ánd twist the top á few times to secure the bág. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcákes. Top eách cupcáke with án oreo if desired. Store in án áir tight contáiner for up to 3 dáys.
