Chocolate cookie cupcakes

There's nothing quite like taking a favorite treat and adding it to a cupcake! Just think of eating a chocolate cream filled cookie baked right into a yummy yellow cupcake.

Oreo Cupcakes aren't only delicious to eat, but they are also fun to make.

These cupcakes are perfect for potlucks, birthdays or an everyday dessert. If you know an Oreo lover, then these are just the cupcakes you'll want to make for them.

I've used Oreo brand cookies, but any chocolate cookie filled with that yummy vanilla cream will work.

These Oreo cupcakes are delicious all by themselves, but top them with Oreo buttercream frosting and you've got a real treat!

Key ingredients

Ingredients for making Oreo cupcakes.

  • Oreo cookies - or other cream filled chocolate cookies
  • Flour - all purpose flour
  • Sugar
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Butter - I use salted butter
  • Vanilla
  • Baking powder and salt

Step by step directions

  • Cream butter with a mixer until light and soft
  • Add sugar and mix until fluffy
  • Mix in eggs and vanilla
  • Add half the amount of milk and mix to combine

Recipe tips

  • Use salted butter that is softened to room temperature.
  • Once you add the flour, do not over mix. Stir just until combined.
  • Keep the chunks of cookies in fairly large pieces. These can easily be broken apart with your hands. If the pieces are too fine, the cupcakes will become a grayish color.

  • When adding cookies, use a spatula and fold cookies into batter.
  • Check your cupcakes at 15 minutes. If they aren't done check again in one more minute.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool in tins for 5 minutes. Then remove and finish cooling on a baking rack.
  • Let cupcakes fully cool before adding frosting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I freeze Oreo cupcakes?

Yes, these cupcakes can be frozen. Allow cupcakes to fully cool, then place in a freezer safe container. When ready to use, allow cupcakes to thaw at room temperature and then add frosting. Freeze up to one month.

Do I have to add frosting to cupcakes?

Nope, these cupcakes are just as delicious eaten without any frosting. However, you can always add your favorite frosting if you'd prefer!

      You could always make a double batch of frosting...just saying, that may be a solution! 🙂
