Instructions
- For the cupcakes, in a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla paste.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, in about 3 additions.
- Fold in cookies. Fill cupcake liners about 1/2 to 3/4 full and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-18 minutes. Remove and cool 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- For frosting, beat butter, cream cheese and vanilla paste about 3 minutes until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and milk and beat 3 more minutes. Beat in finely crushed cookies.
- Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcake. ENJOY!
Notes
- Be sure to let the butter and cream cheese soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before you begin the recipe.
- Don't overfill the cupcake liners! Fill each one about 1/2 and up to 3/4 full of batter.
- Break the cookies into fourths for mixing into the cupcake batter and finely crush the cookies being used in the frosting.
- Use a piping bag to pipe the frosting evenly onto the cupcakes. But wait until the cupcakes are completely cool to frost them or the frosting will turn into a runny mess.
- Vanilla bean paste - This is a baking ingredient made by combining the finely ground seeds from a vanilla bean with vanilla extract. It gives BIG vanilla flavor to these cupcakes! You can order on Amazon or use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the seeds from one vanilla bean instead of the paste.
- Buttermilk. It makes the cupcakes more moist than just using regular milk. Don't have any? Here’s how to make buttermilk substitute that works just as well.
