Info Post
What is it about those beautiful little chocolate cookies that we just love so much? They are amazing. I've had them plain, dunked in milk, dunked in milk with a fork (thank you Flub of Cork!), in a chocolate chip cookie, in ice cream, in dirt cake, etc. I had never seen or heard of putting them in a cupcake. Genius!

The Original Pin:

Stacie found this pin and decided this was a must try. Her husband ran and got the supplies for her and she set off on her culinary adventure.
The Pinstrosity:
What you're seeing are the cupcakes bottoms up...or middles up depending on how they came out of the pan. 
What Went Wrong?

  • Stacie tells us that everything seemed to go just right, until while mixing these scrumptious cakes up she realized that she only had 1 TBS of vanilla instead of the 2 TBS + 2 tsp the recipe called for, so that's just what she used.
  • She has a set of USA pans "which say you don't need muffin cups or cooking spray," as Stacie explained to us (which I needed...I hadn't heard of USA pans yet). 
  • The cupcakes ended up taking about 25 minutes to bake rather than the 18-20 the recipe said. 
In addition to sticking to the pan and falling apart some, Stacie says that these cupcakes "weren't tasty until day 2. Maybe I needed the 2 tbs vanilla extract." That, I am guessing, would be a big factor to help give these the Cookies and Cream taste. I'll have to try this out and see, because it sounds delicious!
