Chocolate chip cookie dough in a cupcake? Sounds like a dream come true. I've been seeing lots of recipes for this specialty online, and thought I should give it a try. They turned out great! I went a little shy on the filling and will use more next time. Yes, I took some shortcuts (a box mix & canned frosting) but I was pressed for time & I think mixes produce a great & consistent product.
Ingredients:
- 1 Yellow Cake Mix (and ingredients needed on package)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 6 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons flour
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips + garnishes
- 1 container Betty Crocker chocolate frosting
- (optional) Chocolate chip cookie dough to make mini cookies for decorations ( I used TollHouse mini's)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make cupcake batter according to directions then stir in 1 cup of regular chocolate chips (I missed this memo..oops!). Bake cupcakes according to package directions. Let cool.
2. While cupcakes are in the oven, make the cookie dough filling by combining brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl and cream on medium speed until fluffy (2 min). Mix in flour & sweetened condensed milk & vanilla. Beat until combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Cover & refrigerate until firm (15 min).
3. When cupcakes have cooled, cut a hole in the top about an inch deep. Fill the hole with about a tablespoon of the cookie dough filling. I went a little on the lighter side, but feel free to use as much as you like (:
4. Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting using a pastry bag (or ziploc), garnish with mini chocolate chips and chocolate chip cookies. Enjoy (:
