I was juggling a bit to much and missed pictures while I was preparing the batter.Follow the recipe on the box:Lower oven temp to 350 FBlend cupcake mix, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup oil and 3/4 cup water in bowl at low medium speed for 2 min.Place baking cups in cupcake tin and spoon batter evenly into 12 cups(1/2 full).Bake 18-23 min.Let CoolOnce cool cut a rectangular opening in the top of the cupcake just wider than the bottom of the Groot cookies, but thinner than where the cookies flair out. Don't hollow out the cupcake as the friction between the cake and the cookie will hold the cookie in place in the next step.

Make sure the cookies have cooled completely and are solid.Insert the base of the Groot Cookies into the tops of the cupcakes all the way to the flaird out section on the cookie. The cookies should remain in place.

Mix frosting packet with 1 stick softened butter and 2 teaspoons water adding green food coloring until desired moss/grass color is achieved.Once well blended fill included pastry bag and cut tip. Optional: Install frosting tip to achieve a "grassy" look.Squeeze bag gently to apply frosting to the base of the Groot cookie and then frost the whole top of the cupcake.

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to make these cupcakes and by using off the shelf mixes I was able to avoid the more difficult parts of the baking process while still resulting in an awesome product.If I was going to do it again I would add a dot of black frosting to each of the eyes to make them stand out more, but otherwise I think this was a success.
