Ingredients:

2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 c. Dutch-process cocoa powder

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened

1 2/3 c. granulated sugar

1 c. milk

2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 large egg whites

2 1/2 c. crushed chocolate cookies

Vanilla cream frosting

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line cupcake pans with liners.

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Combine the butter, sugar, milk and vanilla with an electric mixer, blending until smooth.  Stir in the flour mixture.

Add the egg whites and beat for about 2 minutes.

Mix in 1 1/2 c. crushed cookies, reserving the rest for topping. 

Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full.  Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean.  Let cool in the pans.

Spread the frosting on top of the cupcakes and roll the tops of the frosted cupcakes in the remaining cookie crumbs.
