Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.

For the Cupcakes:

  • Cream together the butter and sugar with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer until light and creamy.  Then mix in the egg whites and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Then mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined on low speed.
  • Mix in the sour cream and whole milk.  Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
  • Pour the cupcake batter into the cupcake liners, filling them until they are approximately 2/3 of the way full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Place them on a cooling rack and allow the cupcakes to cool completely before topping them with the frosting.

For the Frosting:

  • Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer until light and creamy.
  • Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.  Then add in the milk until the frosting is a consistency that you can pipe onto the cupcakes.
  • Gently stir in the crushed Oreo cookies.
  • Pipe the frosting into a swirl pattern onto each of the cupcakes and top with an Oreo Cookie.
  • Allow the frosting to set fully and then the cupcakes are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store the leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.  
You want the Oreos for the frosting to be finely crushed but the Oreos for the cupcake batter are just chopped so that you will have pieces of Oreos throughout the cupcakes.
