Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 12 crushed Plain low sodium cookies
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, beating until smooth.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gently fold in half of the crushed low sodium cookies into the donut batter.
Fill each cavity of the donut pan about 3/4 full with batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth.
Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed low sodium cookies over the glazed donuts.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then enjoy your homemade low sodium cookies and cream donuts!
