Cookies & Cream Vanilla Cupcakes Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line 12 cupcake molds with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, add the milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and baking powder and mix well. Add the flour and mix until a silky batter is formed. Add the crushed oreo cookies into the batter and fold them in. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the vanilla cupcake batter into the 12 molds and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cupcakes are very lightly golden and completely cooked through the center.
- While the cupcakes bake, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to mix together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and butter to make the icing.
- Frost the vanilla cupcakes, top them with crushed oreo cookies, and add festive sprinkles on top.
