Toy Story Alien Cupcakes.

Made these for my co-workers. I work at The Disney Store. I'm really nice to work with.

 

They're cookies and cream.

Pardon my frosting. My mixer broke halfway through.

 

 

Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 2/3 cups granulated sugar

3 large egg whites, at room temperature

1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies (about 10), lightly crushed

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Insert liners into a medium cupcake pan.

2. In a large bowl cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

3. In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Slowly add egg whites to butter mixture, mixing well between each addition. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix until only a few streaks of flour remain. Stir in the crushed cookies until batter is evenly blended.

5. Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 to 3/4 full. Bake for about 15 min­utes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of cupcakes comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes. Finish cooling on a wire rack.

 

Special Buttercream Frosting

2 cups shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco)

8 cups confectioners' sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons clear imitation vanilla extract

6 fluid ounces heavy cream

 

1. Cream shortening until fluffy. Add confectioner's sugar and continue creaming until well blended.

2. Add salt, vanilla, and whipping cream blend on low speed until moistened. Add additional whipping cream if necessary (up to 2 ounces).

3. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.
