Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/4 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 12-cavity donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully pipe the batter into each donut cavity, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and slightly runny.
- Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle the remaining crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the glazed donuts.
- Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cookies n Cream Donuts!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter mixing and even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense donuts. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For the most consistent results, use a piping bag or zip-lock bag to fill donut pan cavities evenly.
- Make sure your donut pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- Let donuts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from becoming too runny.
- Crush cookies just before adding to maintain their crunch and prevent sogginess.
- For extra indulgence, you can add a drizzle of melted chocolate over the glazed donuts.
- Store donuts in an airtight container and consume within 2 days for the best taste and texture.
