1 cup salted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
12 finely crushed Oreo cookies, you can crush an extra 2 to 4 cookies for optional garnish

Using a stand mixer fitted with a wire whisk attachment or a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened butter for 2-2½ minutes or until the butter is smooth and fluffy.
Lower the mixer speed to medium-low. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Increase the mixer speed to medium. Add the vanilla and the heavy cream. Continue mixing until the frosting is smooth and no streaks of vanilla remain.
Fold in the crushed Oreos. It’s very important that the cookies are finely crushed, especially if you are piping the frosting. Large clumps of cookie will be a problem when you are piping the frosting. If you are not using the frosting right away, or if your kitchen is especially warm, you will need to store the frosting in the refrigerator until you are ready to use the frosting.

You can crush the Oreos in a food processor or a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs.
Ensure your butter is softened before making your frosting to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients.
If your kitchen is warm or humid, it's essential to sift the powdered sugar to remove any clumps. This ensures a smooth and lump-free frosting.
