Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

[guestrooms]

I had some oreo cookies lying around, so I thought to make these.















Recipe:

2-1/4
cups all-purpose flour

1
tablespoon baking powder

1/2
teaspoon salt

1-2/3
cups sugar

1
cup milk

1/2
cup (1 stick) butter, softened

2
teaspoons vanilla

3
egg whites

1
cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 10 cookies) plus additional for garnish

1
container (16 ounces) vanilla frosting

Directions:

1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 24 standard (2-1/2-inch) muffin pan cups or line with paper baking cups.

2.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in large bowl. Stir in sugar. Add milk, butter and vanilla; beat with electric mixer at low speed 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Add egg whites; beat 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup crushed cookies.

3.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling two-thirds full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes to racks; cool completely.

4.
Frost cupcakes; garnish with additional crushed cookies.
