  • Remove the mixing bowl from the stand, and add the crushed cookies. Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula, and stir batter and crushed cookies until blended.
  • Place cupcake liner in a muffin tin, and place a whole Oreo Maple cream cookie in the bottom of the liner.
  • Fill the liners 2/3 full with the batter, and bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven, and place on a wire rack to completely cool.
  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, blend the Crisco and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla, and blend. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, alternating with the cream until the Frosting is smooth, thick, and creamy. Add the cinnamon, and blend.
  • Place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator until time to frost the cupcakes.
  • When the cupcakes are cooled, place the frosting in a pastry bag, and with the star tip, pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes starting at the base, and swirling around up to a point in the center (see photo). Place a whole Oreo Maple Cream Cookie on top of the frosting, serve, and Enjoy!
