Directions

  2. Make Cupcake Batter: Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Alternately mix in dry ingredients and milk.
  3. Assemble Cupcakes: Place a tablespoon of crumb in each cupcake liner, add batter, more crumbs, more batter, and a final sprinkle of crumbs. Swirl gently with a toothpick.
  4. Bake: At 350°F for 15-18 minutes. Let cool.
  5. Make Frosting: Beat butter, cream cheese, and cookie butter. Gradually add powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and heavy cream until smooth.
  6. Decorate: Core cupcakes, fill with cookie butter, frost, drizzle with melted cookie butter, and top with cookie halves and crumbs.

Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients for the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep cupcakes light.
  • Allow cupcakes to fully cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • If frosting is too stiff or too runny, adjust with more powdered sugar or cream.
