Cheater Method Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Lover Cupcakes Recipes

SMALL BATCH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Using your hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• Add in the heat treated all-purpose flour, salt, and whole milk, mixing until just combined. If the cookie dough seems a little dry, you may add in 1/2-1 teaspoon of milk.
• Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, then cover and chill in the fridge until ready to use.
• Adjust your oven rack to the 2nd level position (just above center). Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line a cupcake tin with 6 cupcake liners. I placed mine in the middle section of the tin.
• Using your hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar and egg on medium-high speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add in the vanilla extract and milk, and mix until just combined (about 30 seconds). The batter should be easily scoopable and on the thinner side, but not runny.
• Using a medium-size cookie scoop (or a serving spoon and regular size spoon), evenly divide the batter into the cupcake liners.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350ºF. They should be a nice golden yellow color with a slight dome to the top.
• Cool the cupcakes in the tin for 5-10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before filling with the chocolate chip cookie dough and topping with the chocolate chip cookie dough buttercream frosting.
• Using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the sifted powdered sugar, heat treat all-purpose flour, and salt mixing until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add in the whole milk starting with just 1 tablespoon. If you prefer a softer, creamier frosting, add in the 2nd tablespoon of milk. Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
• Core out the center of each cupcake about 1 inch in diameter. Scoop and roll a little of the chocolate chip cookie dough into a 1 inch ball, then gently press it into the center of each cupcake.
• Fill a medium size piping bag fitted with the Wilton 1A decorating tip (or one of your choosing) and pipe the frosting onto the top of each cupcake. If desired, top with a few extra mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
