Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

My lovely friend, Jordan, had her golden birthday yesterday! What better way to celebrate than with cupcakes?! I had never made the Cookies and Cream Cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, so I baked these up as her b-day cake/present. If you haven't eaten or made these before, they are the Basic Chocolate Cupcake with crushed sandwich cookies in the batter, topped with the Fluffy Buttercream Icing that has more crushed cookies in the frosting, garnished with yet another sandwich cookie! Heavenly. I used Newman O's for the cookie part, btw. Amazingly good, and surprisingly not too rich or sweet or anything! My only regret is that I hadn't made/eaten them before!
