The Story:
What do you get when you combine Oreos, cookie dough and brownies? A very happy kid… or adult. After seeing the brownie/cookie/Oreo bars all over Pinterest I thought there needs to be a cupcake with the same combo. Is it a little crazy and over the top? Yes–but your taste buds will thank me for the recipe.
Ingredients
Cake:
24 Oreos split in half (cream sides only)
1 box white cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 cup milk (whole, buttermilk, or whatever you have)
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Cookie Dough Filling:
3/4 cup butter, softened
5 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
7 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Brownie Frosting:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
3-4 cups powdered sugar
5-7 brownies, crumbled
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.
2. Place your Oreo halves cream side up on the bottom of each liner. (Feel free to eat the non-cream side as you bake.)
3. Sift cake mix into a small bowl and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine eggs, oil, milk, sour cream and vanilla extract.
5. Add cake mix and stir until smooth.
6. Fill cupcake liners (over oreo halves) 3/4 full and bake for 17-22 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
7. Cookie Dough Filling: Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer, except chocolate chips, and beat until smooth. Then fold in chocolate chips. Add more flour if needed to thicken.
8. Use a knife to cut out small holes of each cupcake and fill with cookie dough filling. You can do this while the cupcakes are still warm.
9. Frosting: Beat butter for 2 minutes. Add cocoa, vanilla extract and milk. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Add a little more milk if the frosting becomes too thick. Fold in brownie crumbles.
10. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes over the cookie filling and top with sprinkles, mini chocolate chips or Oreos.
11. Taste bud party!

Triple threat indeed these are amazing.
Thanks for this recipe. I made your Andies Candies one for work at Christmas and won 1st place. My husbands office has a faculty/staff picnic Friday night. 46 people – will just double it. Looks delish !!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just when I am thinking…that’s it what else can Lizzy come out with??!! this is CRAZY and now I am dying to bake this recipe but is SOOOOOOOOOOO hot here in California, I am not sure if I could wait until the wheater gets cooler. THANKS LIZZY FOR SHARING YOUR PASSION :0
Oh my gosh, this is ridiculous….ly amazing!!! Holy crap I need to make these immediately!
Oh Yummy! Definently need to make these SOON! Do these need to be refrigerated?
THANK YOU!!!!!! YUM! YUM! YUM!
Yeah, I’d like to know if they need to be refrigerated, too. I would think the cookie dough would need to stay refrigerated.
If it’s just for 24 hours, then you shouldn’t need to refrigerate them
Ever thote abt a snickers or twix cup cake?
Slutty cupcakes!! Heck yes, nice work!
These were awesome! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! Everyone that I shared them with, loved them!!!!
I wondered about the cookie dough filling recipe for these. This recipe is different from a previous Cookie Dough Cupcake recipe you posted (10/2011). Mainly, the amount of flour is almost doubled here. Do you recommend one recipe over the other? Thanks!
They just have different textures. One if more soft and gooey and the other is more similar to a cookie dough. Just add flour a little at a time until you are happy with the texture
Finally!!!
My son and I are going to love making and eating these!
P.S. We love your site. We have been baking your cupcake recipes for a few months now, and have baked 6 recipes with a few repeats. We love all of them, especially the banana cupcakes. Keep it up!
Holy cow! I just saw these in a “Cupcakes Take the Cake” email and cannot wait to make them, thank you!!
I can’t believe the multitude of flavors jumping out of this tasty cupcake. Hello! Yummy! We did some with the filling and some without; both are delicious! Thank you for sharing!
PS How in the world do you cut them so that the photo is perfect? My chocolate frosting keeps touching all over my white cake. I tell the frosting to keep its sticky fingers to itself, but frosting NEVER listens. LOL
Run your knife under some hot water, wipe it off, then cut it
Hi Lizzy, do you make your own brownies or do you use store bought ones? These look unbelievable! I have already made your fave choc cupcakes this week and going to do your choc/raspberry ones tomorrow… But i just might have to whip the mixing bowls out this afternoon and make these little beauties. It is a joy to make your creations!
I did make my own brownies for these, but honestly, brownies from a box are still great (and easier)!
A friend made these for her daughter’s Bday last Friday. THE BEST CUPCAKES I HAVE EVER HAD! I am making them this weekend for my mom’s birthday. Can’t wait to have them again!
This may sound like a dumb question but how or what size of tip do you use to swirl the frosting on the cupcake or how you do it. They look soooooo good and cannot wait to try this recipe thanks.
Head over to Youtube and type in “Your Cup of Cake” to see my piping tutorial. To get any classic swirl use any closed star piping tip like a Wilton 2D or something a little more open.
How do you think this would work with yellow cake mix instead of white? I’m not a huge fan of white cake mix and have a ton of yellow cake mixes in my pantry right now. I was wondering if anyone has tried it with yellow cake mix.
Sounds delicious!
Hi, Love this!!! Reading over the ingredients list and wanted to know if you used salted or unsalted butter? I’m assuming salted as you do not add salt to the batters but I just wanted to double check. Thanks!
I use unsalted butter, but a lot of people use salted and love it
I made a dozen of these, I ate 2 and my boyfriend 10! They are super yummy. I used the leftover cookiedough and it made the most amazing cookies. I just added 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp baking soda. This is now my go to cookie recipe!
Oh awesome!
these look amazing & i can not wait to try them! only question i have is ……. once upon a time i tried to make an oreo cupcake w/ the 1/2 oreo in the bottom of the cupcake just like here .. it turned out bad .. worse than bad .. it got all burnt & nasty & i followed the directions exactly .. is there some sort of trick to get that to turn out right? b/c these look amazing & i do not want to mess them up!!!
It’s your oven that just heats from the bottom. You can try messing around with what rack you put the cakes on. You can also just chop the Oreos into pieces and put them in the batter, I love doing that!
I shared to my group, copying your link.to Foods for Foodies, I hope that is okay. If not please let me know. I included my email and url. thanks so much!
Hi!! These sound amazing!! Would using a yellow cake mix and putting chopped up oreos work in the batter? Or would it be too much?
yellow mix is great and chopped up oreos in the batter is fabulous! I’ve done it before and it’s really great!
Thanks!! Can’t wait to make them.
