If you love cookies ‘n’ cream ice cream this is the cupcake for you. Soft and crumbly with flects of chocolate cookies in a creamy batter. Hard to resist.
ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large egg whites
1 cup lightly crushed Oreos
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep a cupcake pan with liners.
In a bowl – whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
Add the egg whites and vanilla, then alternate the flour mixture and the milk.
Stir in the crushed cookies. Nice and creamy, just like melted ice cream.
Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full. Bake for 15-17 minutes depending on your oven. Let cool on a wire rack.
These will taste great with a variety of frostings, but I went with the old skool chocolate sour cream frosting. It was a great consistency with the light cake. I also added little fondant Bullys that I made, and on the others I rolled the sides in cow sprinkles. MOOOO.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
Ok, so I made these AMAZING cupcakes for my hubby’s birthday tomorrow and I do have a question for you.
What size electric mixer do you have? I did the weird butter/milk mixture and it sprayed all over my counter. The butter didn’t blend into the milk at all, rather it stuck to the paddle–what on earth did I do wrong?
The surprising part was how amazingly fluffy they turned out regardless! Thanks so much for the recipe.
I have a standard (small, if you ask me) size Kitchenaid. You didn’t do anything wrong. The recipe is jacked up, its backasswardsness is crazy. However, I just turned the mixer on low and stopped it every few seconds (annoying) and scraped down the bowl. Continually. It was a pain, but in the end the payoff is the most wonderful fluffy cupcakes ever.
I can’t wait to make these!! Oreos are my favorite cookie and I can easily eat a whole package. Came close once…
oh…duh…i was trying to think of who had a birthday coming up so I can wow the crowd. yeah, that would be me…this weekend!
I made these, and they were very yummy. I don’t think I took you seriously enough when you said the recipe was WEIRD. And since I currently am standmixer-less, I used my handmixer. Let’s just talk about the milk/butter/vanilla splatter – oy. I kind of gave up on that part and just mixed in the flour, but it seems to have worked just fine.
Jenn,
I just made these today and had a small problem. When I took them out of the oven, they had exploded and collapsed at the same time, if you get what I mean. What in the world did I do wrong? Of course, I salvaged them. They were still good!
Stephanie:
What.
That’s odd. Where do you live? Weather of your location, makes a difference sometimes. Hm. Overbeating? Overfilling? I have no idea! Email me and we can figure it out.
Do you mean 1 teaspoon of baking powder? A tablespoon seems a lot…
@TheSlayer
1 Tablespoon is correct!
