Minnie Mouse Cupcakes

Servings:

Vanilla Oreo cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. These were a huge hit with the kids and tasted so good. They were so much better than using a packaged cake mix. The cream cheese frosting went really well with the Oreos. As the birthday cake lady, this is now my go-to cream cheese frosting, and I will never buy a box cake mix again.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 36 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  2. 2 Twist 36 cookies apart carefully. Break the side without cream into quarters and place in a bowl; toss in 2 tablespoons flour so that they don't stick together. Place the cookies with cream into the bottoms of each cupcake cup, cream-side-up.
  3. 3 Whisk 3 1/3 cups flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl.
  4. 4 Beat butter using an electric mixer with a flex edge attachment in another bowl until creamy and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in sugar, milk, and vanilla extract using a wire attachment. Mix in flour mixture slowly until well blended using the flex edge attachment. Add egg whites and beat for 2 minutes. Fold in quartered cookies.
  5. 5 Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  7. 7 Mix softened butter and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until completely combined. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing slowly until incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat, scraping the sides of the bowl often, until frosting appears dry.
  8. 8 Dip 2 toothpicks into food coloring twice and mix into frosting. Frost cupcakes as desired and decorate using mini chocolate cookies.
