I also know many people also loves Oreo cookies. So why not combine these two together! Along with the homemade frosting, you are going to enjoy these cupcakes! Before I go in detail on how to make these cupcakes, watch my cooking video below!

Here is what you need to make these cupcakes!

24 Oreo cookies, halved
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
8 tbsp. butter, softened
1 2/3 cup sugar
3 large egg whites
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup milk
20 Oreo cookies, chopped

For the frosting, you will need

8 oz. cream cheese
8 tbsp. butter, softened
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners sugar
2 tbsp. milk
20 Oreo cookies, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees! Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, egg whites, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl. Combine well! Then crush 20 Oreo cookies in a bag. Combine crumbled Oreos with the cupcake batter and mix well!

2. Place halved Oreo cookie into each muffin tin. Place cream side up!

3. Fill each muffin tin with cupcake batter. Bake in oven for 18-20 minutes. After taken out of oven, make sure each cupcake is cooked through by checking with a toothpick.

4. Combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, confectioners sugar, and milk in a bowl. Take 20 more Oreo cookies and crush them in a bag. Then add crumbled Oreos into frosting mixture. Mix well!
