When I stumbled upon this recipe it was like a dream come true... cookie dough batter inside a moist fluffy cupcake! I know.. sounds unreal right?!?! I had to try this out!
Now this is the first time I was making this sinfully delicious treat and I have to admit I took some shortcuts because I was short on time that day but next time I will definitely work from scratch.
I gathered up my ingredients which consisted of, Yellow cake mix (from the box),pre-made toll house cookie dough and all the other essential ingredients like eggs, water and oil.
First things first I scooped the cookie dough using my cookie scoop and popped them in the freezer for about an hour.
While those were getting nice and firm I mixed up my cake batter and lined my cupcake pans.
Next step was to fill each liner 2/3 the way full with batter and then place a cookie dough ball right on top! Could not have been easier!
Here is what they looked like before going into the oven...
The cupcakes baked in a 350 degree oven for about 18 minutes. To check doneness I inserted a toothpick into the cupcake and when it came out clean I knew they were set to go.
Ta-Da!!!! can't even see the cookie dough!!! It will be a yummy surprise!
Once the cupcakes were cooled I frosted them with an incredible brown sugar buttercream and topped them off with some mini morsels and ended up with this finished product...
Needless to say these were a huge hit!!!
Frosting Recipe:
3 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp. milk or water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
To make the frosting, combine the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in the milk (or water), and vanilla extract until smooth and combined
