Cookies and Cream Donuts

Baked cookie donuts slathered in creamy glaze and crushed Oreos!
Ingredients

    FOR THE DONUTS:
    ½ cups Cookies And Cream Pieces (in The Baking Section, By Hersheys)
    2-¼ cups Cake Flour
    1 cup Sugar
    2 teaspoons Baking Powder
    1 teaspoon Salt
    1 cup Heavy Cream
    2  Eggs
    1 Tablespoon Vanilla
    4 Tablespoons Melted Butter
    FOR THE GLAZE AND TOPPING:
    ¼ cups Heavy Cream
    1 teaspoon Vanilla
    1 cup Powdered Sugar
    ½ cups Oreo Cookies, Crushed





Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease donut pans well with baking spray. Recipe makes roughly 18 full size donuts.
2. Roughly chop the cookies and cream pieces and set aside.
3. Sift together all of the dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine the cream, eggs, vanilla and butter and whisk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold the batter until well combined.
4. Fold in the cookies and cream pieces.
5. Either spoon the batter into the prepared pan, or transfer the batter to a Ziploc or piping bag, snip off a corner of the bag and pipe into the donut pan (it’s a little neater this way).
6. Bake the donuts until just cooked through and golden on top 10-12 minutes.
7. Remove pan from the oven. Let the donuts cool on a wire rack after turning them out of the pans.
8. While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze by whisking the cream, vanilla and powdered sugar together in a medium sized bowl.
9. Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze until they have a nice thick coating. Generously sprinkle on the crushed Oreo chunks and crumbs.
10. Enjoy!
