INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 8 finely chopped Oreo cookies
  • 3 cups whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 10 coarsely crushed Oreo cookies

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Insert liners into medium cupcake pans.
  2. In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Cream butter and sugar in an electric mixer with the mixer’s flat beater on medium speed until mixture is light and airy.
  4. Reduce mixing speed to low. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients (prepared in Step 2) and the finely chopped Oreos, mixing until batter is smooth.
  6. Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cupcakes are springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in cupcake’s center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
  9. With an electric mixer, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft and creamy.
  10. Add coarsely crushed Oreo pieces, gently mixing to prevent cookie pieces from breaking further.
  11. Scoop into a piping bag with a wide tip and pipe decoratively onto cupcakes, or spread onto cupcakes as desired. Garnish with a whole Oreo cookie.
