Let me know in the comments! ♡♡♡ THE RECIPE! ♡♡♡ Frosted Animal Cookie Cupcakes Yield: 12 cupcakes Cupcakes: 1 1/4 cup (140g) cake flour, weighed or spooned into the cup and leveled 3/4 cup (144g) granulated white sugar 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick/57g) unsalted butter, softened 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large egg, room temperature 1 large egg yolk, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoons butter flavor extract 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream, room temperature 1/4 cup rainbow nonpareils, plus extra for garnish 12 frosted circus animal cookies, for garnish Filling: 3/4 cup marshmallow fluff/cream pink food coloring Frosting: 3oz white candy melts 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream 1/2 cup (1 stick/4oz) unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 cups (1/2lb) powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar), sifted Directions Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a cupcake pan with baking cups. With an electric mixer, beat together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on low speed for about 20 seconds. Add softened butter and oil and mix for about 1-2 minutes to coat the flour, until mixture resembles wet sand. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, yolk, vanilla, butter extract and sour cream until smooth. Slowly add the wet mixture on low speed. Scrape down bottom and sides of bowl. Increase to medium speed and beat for about 1 minute until batter is smooth. Very gently stir in sprinkles, careful not to over mix as the colors will bleed into the batter. Distribute the batter between the baking cups, filling about 2/3 full. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. (About 10 minutes for mini cupcakes). Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before filling and frosting. Filling: Dye marshmallow fluff pink with food coloring. Spoon into a plastic sandwich bag and snip off the corner, for easy piping into the cupcake. Fill cooled cupcakes and spread more fluff on top. Frosting: Microwave candy melts with 1 tablespoon cream in microwave safe bowl, in 30 second intervals on Medium-high for about 1-2 minutes, until smooth. With an electric mixer, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in vanilla and salt. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, starting on on low and increasing to medium, until fully incorporated, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Add melted and cooled candy melts. Scrape down bottom and sides of bowl. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for an additional 3-5 minutes until smooth, light and fluffy. Frost cupcakes. Top with sprinkles and a cookie. 🎀Find me @LindsayAnnBakes & tag YOUR creations with #LindsayAnnBakes ♡♡♡ PINK PRODUCTS! ♡♡♡ Shop my favorite baking products and PINK kitchen supplies from my videos, on my amazon store: amazon.com/shop/lindsayannbakes ♡♡♡ FOLLOW ME! ♡♡♡ FACEBOOK: facebook.com/LindsayAnnBakes INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/LindsayAnnBakes PINTEREST: pinterest.com/LindsayAnnBakes TWITTER: twitter.com/LindsayAnnBakes WEBSITE: LindsayAnnBakes.com GET RECIPES TO YOUR EMAIL: bit.ly/LindsayAnnBakesEmailRecipes ♡♡♡ ABOUT ME! ♡♡♡ Q&A WITH LINDSAY ANN: youtu.be/7ZPa4MRxK6g Hi, I'm Lindsay Ann!
