🧁 How to Make Cookies and Cream Cupcakes – Step-by-Step

1️⃣ Mix the Cupcake Batter

In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla. Combine everything, then gently fold in crushed Oreos.

2️⃣ Bake the Cupcakes

Spoon batter into cupcake liners (¾ full). Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely.

3️⃣ Make the Oreo Frosting

Beat butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. Once smooth, mix in crushed Oreos. Pipe or spread onto cooled cupcakes.

4️⃣ Decorate & Chill

Top each cupcake with more cookie crumbs or a mini Oreo. Refrigerate slightly before serving for a cool summer cupcake treat.
