"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Cupcake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Line tray with 24 baking cups and spray cups.

Place one whole cookie in each cup or break apart at least 12 cookies and place the broken pieces into each cup.

Mix the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl using a wire whisk.

Add the eggs, oil, vanilla and milk and mix well until thoroughly combined. Add the hot water and mix until combined.

Transfer the batter (it will be very liquid) to a large measure cup and then pour batter into each baking cup so it's about three quarters full. You should have a little left over.

Bake for 16-18 minutes.

Frosting:
Beat the shortening in a mixer until smooth.

Add vanilla and mix until combined.

Add the powdered sugar in three additions scraping down the sides after each addition.

Add a tbs. of milk at a time and mix together until you achieve the consistency you like.

Add the cookie crumbs and mix until completely combined. You can add more if you like, but I just wanted a light speckling to show off the white frosting.

Place frosting a a decorator bag with a 1M tip and swirl on top of each cupcake.
Insert a cookie on top of each cupcake.
