Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Boiling water
• 12 whole cookies Oreo cookies
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 6 whole cookies Additional Oreo cookies (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Step 5

Place one whole Oreo at the bottom of each cupcake liner.

Step 6

Fold the crushed Oreos (approximately 6 cookies, roughly chopped) into the batter, then pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

Step 8

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the frosting is light and creamy.

Step 11

Crush 6 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and fold them into the frosting.

Step 12

Pipe or spread the Oreo buttercream onto the cooled cupcakes.

Step 13

Garnish each cupcake with an additional Oreo or Oreo crumbs, if desired.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your Death by Oreo Cupcakes!
