How To Make cookies n' cream cupcakes

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line muffin tin with paper liners or spray lightly with nonstick spray.
  • Step 2
    Cupcakes: In a large bowl, combine flour, flax, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg into half & half and creamer; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in crushed cookies. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
  • Step 3
    Filling: Beat together cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth and creamy. Make a well in center of each cupcake; fill with a spoonful of filling. (You may have some filling left over.)
  • Step 4
    Topping: Mix together flour, sugar, and crushed cookies. Cut in butter until crumbly; sprinkle evenly over top of each cupcake.
  • Step 5
    Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes for regular size cupcake (up to 20 minutes for jumbo size) or until cupcake tests done.
  • Step 6
    In a saucepan over low heat, melt chips and shortening until smooth. Drizzle over tops of cooled cupcakes.
