Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

Just made some of these and thought I would share!

2 1/4 cups flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 2/3 cups sugar

1 cup milk

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 egg whites

1 cup oreos (about 10 cookies)

*frost with either a store bought vanilla frosting or I use a basic butter cream frosting with powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk*

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line standard muffin pan with paper baking cups.

2. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into large bowl; stir in sugar. Add milk, butter, and vanilla; beat with electric mixer at low speed 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Add egg whites; beat 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup crushed oreos. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling two-thirds full.

3. Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pans and place on wire racks.
