Imagine the best combination of a cupcake and a cookie all rolled into one sweet treat—Oreo cookie cupcakes. These are the ultimate desserts for anyone who loves chocolate, cookies, and frosting. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your cupcake pan with paper liners. Place a whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each liner—this will be your crunchy base for the cupcakes. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is well blended before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. This helps the batter stay smooth and well-mixed. Once fully combined, fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. These add a great cookie flavour to the cupcakes.

Spoon the batter over the Oreo cookies in each cupcake liner. Fill them about two-thirds full so they have room to rise. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before adding the frosting. Make the frosting: While the cupcakes cool, make the frosting. In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.

Gradually add the powdered sugar, a little at a time, while continuing to beat. Add the vanilla extract and keep mixing until smooth. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos to give the frosting a crunchy, sweet texture. Once the cupcakes are cool, spread or pipe the Oreo frosting on top. For an extra touch, break up additional Oreos and sprinkle them over each cupcake for a fun and tasty decoration.

These cupcakes are soft, sweet, and full of chocolate and cookie goodness. Each bite is a perfect mix of cake, cookie, and creamy frosting, making them irresistible to anyone with a sweet tooth.
