How to Make Oreo Cupcakes With Oreo Buttercream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Twist 12 Oreos in half; set aside the cream filling and 6 cookie halves for garnish. Roughly crush the remaining cookies.
  3. Place one Oreo half, cream-side up, into the bottom of each cupcake liner.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Add 4 large eggs to the creamed butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, alternating and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  9. Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full with batter.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ½ cup shortening, and 3 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  13. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the crushed Oreos. Mix until well combined.
  14. Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the Oreo buttercream.
  15. Garnish each cupcake with a half Oreo cookie.
