Vanilla Oreo cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. These were a huge hit with the kids and tasted so good. They were so much better than using a packaged cake mix. The cream cheese frosting went really well with the Oreos. As the birthday cake lady, this is now my go-to cream cheese frosting, and I will never buy a box cake mix again.

- 36 chocolates sandwich cookies , such as Oreo®
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Twist 36 cookies apart carefully. Break the side without cream into quarters and place in a bowl; toss in 2 tablespoons flour so that they don't stick together. Place the cookies with cream into the bottoms of each cupcake cup, cream-side-up.

Beat butter using an electric mixer with a flex edge attachment in another bowl until creamy and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in sugar, milk, and vanilla extract using a wire attachment. Mix in flour mixture slowly until well blended using the flex edge attachment. Add egg whites and beat for 2 minutes. Fold in quartered cookies.

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

Mix softened butter and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until completely combined. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing slowly until incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat, scraping the sides of the bowl often, until frosting appears dry.

Clean Breakfast Cookies
Last year, I set out to create clean, healthy treats and experimented with recipes until I found one my family loves. Now, I make these clean breakfast cookies twice a week! Naturally sweetened with honey and chocolate chips, they're free from added sugar, preservatives, and additives. They're just pure, wholesome goodness.
Easy No-Bake Strawberry Ice Cream Cake
It's hard to find a summer dessert more refreshing than this easy no-bake strawberry ice cream cake, made with a combination of strawberry ice cream and a purchased 10-inch angel food cake! Layers of cake and ice cream, frosted with a purchased frozen whipped topping, are stored in the freezer until you are ready to garnish and slice. This ice cream cake should keep, covered, in the freezer for 1 to 2 weeks. I've never been able to find out exactly how long it will store, because it's usually gone in a few days!
