Girl Scout Cookie Cupcake

It's Girl Scout Cookie season again! Being a former Girl Scout myself, I figured I would honor them with a cupcake creation of my favorite cookie: The Samoa. 
This cookie, for those of you that don't know, is a vanilla cookie, dipped in caramel, topped with coconut and drizzled with chocolate. Now that I'm salivating, let's get started on this cupcake recipe!

The Samoa Cupcake:
What you will need:

• Vanilla Cake Mix (Super Moist, Betty Crocker)
• ingredients for cake mix (eggs, oil, water), on box
• 2 boxes Samoas cookies (Be charitable people!)
• One batch of Slightly Coconut Frosting*

*Recipe for frosting will be in next post! Stay Tuned!! :)

Okay, lets get started: 

Preheat oven to temperature indicated on box mix. Line your muffin tin with paper liners. While your oven is preheating (about 15-20mins), lets prepare our cookie filling and garnish. Put the cookies in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Put in a bowl, and set aside for later.
Batter:
Combine all ingredients for cake mix in large bowl. Scoop batter into lined muffin pan only about 1/3 full. Sprinkle a layer of cookie crumbs on top of batter. Pour the remaining batter over cookie layer and fill cup about 3/4 full. Bake for appropriate time indicated on box. Once cupcakes are done, let cool completely before frosting. 
Makes 24 cupcakes.


Stay tuned for the Slightly Coconut Frosting recipe that perfectly compliments this Samoa Cupcake! :)
