Ultimate Cookies And Cream Lovers Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with paper or aluminum foil liners.
• In a medium bowl or on a large square of waxed paper, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and vinegar; set aside for a few minutes to curdle.
• Add the sugar, oil and vanilla extract and other extract, if using, and beat until foamy. Add the dry ingredients in 2 increments, and beat until no large lumps remain.
• Add the chopped cookies to the batter, stirring just to combine. Spoon the batter into the liner cups, filling them three-quarters full.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Frosting:.
• While cupcakes cook, in the bowl , beat the shortening and butter on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, until well combined and fluffy.
• Reduce speed to low to add the sugar until incorporated, and then increase to medium-high speed to beat for about 3 minutes.
• Add the vanilla extract and milk; beat on the same speed for 5 to 7 minutes, until fluffy. Add the cookie crumbs, mixing well.
• Frost the cupcakes and serve!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners. Set pans aside.
• Use 12 Oreos and split them in twos, place cookie halves in the bottom of each paper liner, cream side up. Toss the extra Oreos in a closed zipper-lock bag and crush them by easing a rolling pin over the bag. Set these aside.
• Blend sour cream, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and fold in cake mix. Use box directions for blending tips. Then measure out 1 1/2 cups of the crushed Oreos and fold these into the batter until well distributed. Set aside the remaining crushed Oreos for the frosting and or garnish. Spoon or scoop batter until each paper liner is 3/4 full. Place the pans in the oven.
• Bake the cupcakes until they are lightly golden for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pans and let them cool for 5 minutes before removing liners. After 5 minutes, remove the individual cupcakes and place them on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes before frosting.
• For the frosting use a packaged 16oz can (Vanilla) or your own favorite recipe. Soften and fold in remaining Oreo crumbles to your liking and put some aside to garnish as well.
• **Keep well sealed at room temp(lasts about 3 days) or refrigerate (up to a week), to your liking.
