Cupcake Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free chocolate cupcake mix with eggs, buttermilk, and oil. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat until smooth—approximately 2-3 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while preparing the batter.
  3. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners, fill them two-thirds full with batter, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  4. Allow cupcakes to cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before transferring them. Let cool completely, approximately 20-30 minutes.
Frosting Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with powdered sugar and milk until creamy—about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the crushed gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
  3. Once cupcakes are cool, frost each with cookies and cream frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
