Set aside two Oreo cookies for Baymax's eyes. Break the rest of the cookies into quarters in a mixing bowl. Add a cup and a half of frosting and stir together with the cookies. This makes the filling keep the texture of the chunky cookies.

Add the two reserved Oreos and connect them with a line of gel icing to create Baymax's face.
