2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until peaks form, set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks. Mix in the vanilla and chocolate.
4. In another separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the butter mixture. Stir in the Oreos. Fold the batter into the egg whites. Fill prepared cupcake liners almost to the top, you want the cupcakes to be tall. Place the cupcake tray on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. For the frosting:
6. Whip the cream cheese and the butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the sugar, one cup at a time. Add the vanilla and mix again. Stir in the Oreos.
7. Frost the cupcakes once they have cooled. If you pipe the frosting, make sure the Oreo pieces in the frosting are fine. If you don't pipe you can make the Oreo pieces chunky. Garnish with mini Oreos.
8. Enjoy!
