Cupcakes inspired by cookie flavors, including chocolate chip, Oreo, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and lemon ginger, are decadent treats. Recipes typically require basic ingredients and can be topped with frosting or left intact.
Cookies and cupcakes are treats on their own, but when cupcakes are inspired by a particular cookie flavor, they can be downright decadent. Chocolate cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies are two versions that chocoholics would probably devour. The Oreo variety is for those who love cookies of the same name, but also enjoy them in cupcake form. Peanut butter and oatmeal raisins are two much-loved types of cookies that inspired cookie cupcakes. Lemon Ginger may not be a cookie many are familiar with, but some consider them delicious enough to make into cupcakes.
Chocolate cupcakes are for those who love chocolate chip cookies but want to try them in a different form. They require basic ingredients already found in most kitchens, including butter, vanilla and baking powder. Those who want something more chocolaty can replace the chocolate chips with large chunks of semisweet chocolate.
Peanut Butter Cookie Cupcakes typically taste just like their crunchy flat counterparts. Most recipes call for the same ingredients including eggs, sugar, flour, and of course creamy peanut butter, while others have optional ingredients like sour cream. Some put frosting, something rich like double chocolate or cream cheese frosting on top, while others use a fork to create lines in the batter similar to those on many peanut butter cookies. To change it up, throw chocolate chips into the recipe and pair it with a double-chocolate frosting.
Oreos are an extremely popular cookie, but they are also used to make Oreo cookie cupcakes. An entire packet of cookies is used to make 24 cupcakes, but the baker may be short if he can’t resist eating a couple while baking. Cookies aren’t just crushed into the mix; there is also an untouched cookie at the bottom of each liner and an added mini on top.
Lemon Ginger Cookie Cupcakes aren’t always made in the standard cupcake shape. Another option is to leave the cookies intact and alternate them with a mix of whipped cream, sugar and vanilla. Top add a little more color, top them off with a little lemon zest – a little lemon zest is already needed for the recipe, so it will keep the peel from going to waste.
The tops of oatmeal raisin cookie cupcakes typically end up looking very similar to their cookie counterparts. The recipe calls for similar ingredients to those for cookies. Rolled oats, coconut flakes and oat bran are some extra ingredients needed to complete the recipe.
