Chocoate-Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

These cupcakes are probably the one thing N is most proud of making all summer. They were that amazing.

The cupcakes themselves came from this recipe from allrecipes.com, while the frosting (which we made by hand! man creaming butter and sugar is not at all the same thing as melting butter then adding sugar! Who knew. It was a learning experience for N anyway) was from this recipe for cookie dough frosting.

First you bake vanilla cupcakes, then cut a cone out of the center and insert a ball of cookie dough (from a tube if you’re not fancy, and uncooked of course). Add the top back on and frost with the cookie dough frosting you just made. 

If you’re like N, of course you want to use all the extra cookie dough you have, so you make them into the world’s tiniest cookies and use them to decorate the cupcakes and plate. These are just like regular cookies only baked for a much shorter time. We wanna say ten minutes? And watch them carefully so they don’t burn, poor little things.
