O-O-reo O-O-reo, what's in the middle? The white stuff!

You are totally singing it now aren't you? Nothing like a little Weird Al stuck in your head to brighten your day. You're welcome :)
So, it's my friend, Colin's, birthday and we had a picnic by the beach in Del Mar last week to celebrate that in addition to wrapping up Community Group for the school year. He wanted something oreo-y and otherwise left it up to me. Pinterest, here I come! I found these cute little oreo cheesecake cupcakes and they are so easy to make! Plus they are great to take to a picnic, they are so portable and not messy. Perfect for summer get-togethers.


Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes
Ingredients
24 Oreos: 16 left whole, and 8 coarsely chopped
2 8-oz pkg. cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 275 F. Line muffin tins with paper liners. Place 1 whole Oreo in the bottom of each lined cup. Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium. Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Pour in the beaten egg, a little at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand. Pour the batter into the prepared tins, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, 22-25 minutes. Cool in the pans for about 15 minutes, on a wire rack, then transfer to a plate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
