Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 12 Oreos
- ¾ cup cake flour
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting
- 3.4 ounces marshmallow fluff, (½ of a 7-ounce container)
- ½ cup Butter, room temperature
- 2½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons cream
- 10 Oreos, finely crushed, plus additional Oreos for garnish
Toppings
- Crushed oreos
- cookies for tombstones, can cut Oreos into tombstone shape
- mallow pumpkins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 wells of a muffin tin with paper liners. Place an Oreo cookie in the bottom of each paper liner, and set aside.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cake flour, all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine. Mix in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Combine the milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl or measuring cup, and add half of the milk mixture to the batter. Mix until smooth, then add the other half of the milk mixture and mix until smooth.
- Scoop into prepared muffin tin, filling ½-⅔ full (into darker cupcake liners). Bake 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove and let cool completely.
- After the cupcakes have cooled, beat the marshmallow fluff and butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and enough cream to make a smooth, easily pipeable frosting. Beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the finely crushed Oreos.
- Pipe frosting onto the cooled cupcakes (I used a jumbo round tip) and garnish with additional crushed Oreos plus a cookie for a tombstone and a mallow pumpkin.
