The Story:
If you couldn’t tell, I have been on a big kid-kick lately, making cupcakes that bring out the crayon-loving, plaster-eating and Sunny-D kid in all of us. These cupcakes finish off the theme, then maybe I will get back to more glamorous and grown up cupcakes. Maybe…

I’m all for being a big kid whenever possible! These cupcakes look so good, I just HAVE to try them 🙂
Oh, BTW.. .what brand and size of tip did you use for the cupcakes in these photos? Love the swirl!
I believe I used Ateco 866 for these, or it was something very similar
I love keeblers! this is going to be the death of me, you really have way too yummy things! But I love it!!!! thanks for creating and sharing them all!
Hi Lizzy, I love all of your cupcake recipes they are sooo yummy. I was just wondering how finely chopped were the cookies you used in the batter? Are they cut up the same way as the ones used on top? Can’t wait to try these! Thanks!!!
Good question! I chopped them up a little smaller than the ones on top. Plus, they start falling apart as they hit the batter. You don’t want HUGE chunks in your batter, but it gives it nice texture when it bakes.
I cannot WAIT to try these. Keebler Elf cookies are one of my favorites and these look delicious. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Omg! The perfect cupcake for me! Love Keebler Elf cookies!
Absolutely love the whimsical twist on these cupcakes. The Keebler addition is genius and they turned out moist and flavorful. Can not wait to whip up another batch for my inner kid.
