Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups boiling water
• 1 cups crushed Oreo cookies
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups additional crushed Oreos for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, beat the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is thin and smooth. This step enhances the chocolate flavor.

Step 6

Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies gently, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 11

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 12

Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable.

Step 13

Fold in the finely crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they are evenly incorporated.

Step 14

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe or spread the Oreo buttercream frosting onto each cupcake.

Step 15

Garnish with additional crushed Oreos on top for extra texture and flavor.

Step 16

Serve and enjoy your delectable Cookies N Cream Cupcakes!
