    You are going to want to head to the kitchen with the kids today to make these Golden Oreo Cupcakes!

    Who doesn't love Golden Oreos? The crunchy outside and smooth sweet inside dunked in a glass of cold milk...YUM!

    But what makes a Golden Oreo even better? A delicious Golden Oreo Cupcake topped with that perfect little cookie!

    Now that spring is here and the kids are home, it's time to spend some time together. We are all going to have rainy days or days when it's just too darn hot to be outside, even by the pool.

    Those days are the perfect time to spend together baking. Your kids will remember those times forever! My girls had cute aprons when they were little and they loved wearing them when we cooked together.

    Get all your ingredients out and give the butter time to soften before you start working. Once the cupcakes are in the oven, make the frosting together.

    Have your camera ready to capture them in action. When you take the cupcakes out of the oven, they must have time to cool, so this is a great time to have lunch or a snack together and catch up. 

    Asking my kids how their school day went usually elicited a response like, "good." Can you relate?

    Sitting together and chatting brings out more, so this is a great time to find out how they are really doing, and distract them from wanting to ice the cupcakes before it's time!  

    How to Make Golden Oreo Cupcakes

    Makes 12

    First, you'll want to preheat your oven to 350° degrees. Set up your cupcake pan with liners.

    Using a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.   In a separate large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer or Kitchenaid on medium to high for 30 seconds.

    Using a sealable bag, place your cookies in it, smashing with a rolling pin or your hands.

    Now add sugar and vanilla to the butter and beat until combined.

    Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  

    Alternate adding the flour mixture, milk, and butter mixture, beating on low speed until everything is well mixed together.

    Fold in your Golden Oreo crumbled cookies.

    Fill the cupcake pan liners ⅔ with cake batter.

    Bake for 18-20 minutes.  

    Remove cupcakes from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Next up: Frosting!  

    How to Make Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

    In large mixing bowl, beat butter, vanilla and cream cheese on high speed until fluffy.

    Add one cup of sugar at a time until all 3 are combined.

    Add in heavy cream if frosting is looking like sugar pebbles.

    Scrape the sides to get all of the sugar.

    Mix until your frosting is stiff and won't fall off the whisk.

    Take a butter knife and carve out a small portion of the cupcake.

    Fill in with frosting.

    Using a star tip, pipe on the frosting onto the top of the cupcake and place the Oreo on top, as seen in the photo above.

      Hi,
      It looks like you didn’t tell us how much cream cheese to use. I want to make this for my son’s birthday.

        Hi Kris! So sorry. I am gradually updating recipes for nutritional info and must have deleted the cream cheese. Please let me know how they turn out! Happy birthday to your son!
