For the Cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add papers to a cupcake baking sheet. Roughly chop enough Oreos to end up with about a cup.

Sift the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder together in a large bowl then set aside.

In a medium bowl mix the egg whites, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract.
- 5
Cream the butter in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a large bowl if using an electric hand mixer.
- 6
Beat the dry ingredients into the butter until well incorporated, scrape the bowl at least once. You'll end up with a crumbly mixture.
