Transfer to prepared pans, dividing evenly (each cup should be about two-thirds full). Bake, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one cupcake comes out clean, 18 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Cool in pans on a wire rack, ⏱️ 15 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
3
Make the Vanilla Buttercream: Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Beat in confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and cream or milk. Beat for ⏱️ 1 minute.

Attach candy googly eyes to cookies with a dab of melted chocolate; let set. Frost cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream. Place one cookie on top of each cupcake. Insert four licorice pieces into the frosting on each side of the cookie. Store covered, at room temperature, for 2 to 3 days.
