Oreo Cupcakes

Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1¼ cups coarsely chopped Oreos (approximately 8 cookies)

    2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites until completely incorporated, followed by vanilla and almond extracts.

    3. Stir in half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk. Stir in remaining flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped up cookies. Divide batter evenly into prepared pan.

    4. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached. Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting.
