Ingredients

  • 6 Oreo cookies, crushed or 12 halves – see note
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick, softened
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-4 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Begin beating softened butter with a hand mixer. Add one cup powdered sugar and mix well. Add one tablespoon cream and mix in.
    ½ cup butter, 2-3 cups powdered sugar, 2-4 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • Add vanilla, then repeat with another cup of powdered sugar and tablespoon of cream. Adjust with more powdered sugar and/or cream to get the amount and consistency you desire. Keep in mind that you will be adding dry, powdery cookies so you might want the frosting to be a little more “wet” than your typical buttercream. (i.e. add a little more cream)
    ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • Add the crushed Oreos to the bowl and fold in. Use on your favorite baked goods!

Notes

When using this frosting, I like to decorate with halves of actual Oreo cookies. I have found that when I cut an Oreo in half, I end up with one that looks great and the other is a mess. So if that is your plan, make your Oreo halves first, and use the messed up halves to crush up and add to the frosting.
