Oreo Cupcakes (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup of softened butter.
02 - 2 cups of regular white sugar.
03 - 1 tsp of vanilla flavoring.
04 - 4 large eggs.
05 - 1 cup whole milk.
06 - 1 ¼ cups of plain flour.
07 - 1 ½ cups of self-raising flour.
08 - 1 ½ cups of finely chopped Oreo biscuits.
09 - ½ cup of softened butter.
10 - 1 tsp vanilla flavoring.
11 - 5 tbsp of milk.
12 - 1 pound of powdered sugar (roughly 3 ¾ cups).
13 - ½ cup of ground Oreo biscuits.
14 - 24 mini Oreo biscuits for decoration.

# Instructions:

01 - Turn on the oven and preheat it to 175° C. Place cupcake liners into 24 muffin cups and keep them handy.
02 - In a large bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until it's airy and smooth.
03 - Add in the vanilla extract and beat in one egg at a time, mixing well after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is even.
04 - Gradually combine the plain flour, self-raising flour, and milk by alternating between them until the mix is smooth.
05 - Scrape the bowl one more time, then gently fold the Oreo chunks into the batter by hand.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds of the way. Let them bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in comes out clean.
07 - In another bowl, beat together the softened butter and vanilla. Add the powdered sugar slowly, then mix in the milk.
08 - Scrape the bowl down, then keep beating the frosting for an extra couple minutes until it’s fluffy. Stir in the crushed Oreos gently.
09 - Spread the frosting over the cooled cupcakes, and pop a mini Oreo on top to finish each one.

# Notes:

01 - To keep them soft and tender, make sure not to bake the cupcakes too long.
02 - Make a double batch of frosting if you want to use a piping bag for a fancy top.
03 - If you’re piping, crush the Oreos super fine for smoother frosting.
