Cookies and cream cupcakes

Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 4 chocolate sandwich cookies, cream removed, crushed
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of table salt
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 12 whole chocolate sandwich cookies

Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 Tbsp heavy cream or milk

You'll need

  • 12 silicone or paper muffin cups
  • Electric mixer (stand or hand mixer)

Method

  1. Set aside 1 Tbsp of the crushed cookies. In a small bowl, whisk the rest of the cookies with the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Using a stand mixer or medium bowl and a hand mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until creamy and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. With the mixer running, add the egg, then vanilla, and beat until combined.
  3. With the mixer running, slowly add about half the dry ingredients and half the milk, then the rest of the dry ingredients and the rest of the milk. Beat, scraping down the sides as needed, until the batter is smooth.
  4. Arrange 12 silicone or paper baking cups in the air fryer basket. Place one whole cookie in the bottom of each cup
  5. Divide batter evenly among the cups (a heaping Tbsp in each). Slide the basket into the air fryer. Set to Bake at 300°F for 15 minutes, then press Start | Stop.
  6. When time is up, a toothpick inserted in the center of one cupcake should come out clean. Carefully transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and let cool completely before frosting.
  7. For the frosting: using an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until fluffy, 1 minute.
  8. Gradually add confectioner’s sugar, making sure it is well incorporated after each addition. With the mixer running, add the heavy cream or milk.
  9. Add the reserved crushed cookies and mix on low speed until just combined.
  10. Frost the cooled cupcakes and serve.
