Making Golden Oreo Cupcakes is as simple as following these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place cupcake liners in a muffin pan.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well-incorporated.

5. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

6. Incorporate Vanilla and Oreos: Stir in the vanilla extract and the crushed Golden Oreos, mixing well.

7. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.

8. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Prepare Frosting: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

11. Frost the Cupcakes: Use a piping bag to frost the cooled cupcakes with the whipped cream mixture. Top with additional crushed Golden Oreos for garnish.

With these steps, you’re well on your way to crafting the most delicious Golden Oreo Cupcakes!
