I made these the other day and they turned out divine. So many people requested the recipe, so I put it on here thinking it would be the easiest way to get it out.
Cookie Dough:
- 2 sticks softened butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3 sticks softened butter
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
Cookie Dough Buttercream Frosting
- 3 sticks softened butter
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla Extract
- To make the cookie dough, combine the butter and sugars in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in milk and vanilla until incorporated and smooth. Beat in the flour and salt until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Using 1.5 Tbsp scoop, shape the dough into ball or tubes. Freeze on parchment lined baking sheet over night. (It only took mine 45 minutes to freeze)
- To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350. Line two cupcake pans with paper liners. (24 total) In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment( I just used hand mixer), combine the butter and brown sugar. Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the side of bowl as needed. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir together to blend. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl on low speed, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing each addition just until incorporated. Blend in the vanilla. Using a 3 Tbsp scoop, fill the prepared cupcake liners 2/3 full with the cupcake batter. Place a frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake. Bake at 350 for 16-18 minutes.
- 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 salt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined. Frost the cupcakes and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips! Makes 24 cupcakes.
*They are so much better if you wait for them to cool!
* I was able to freeze the cookie dough in 45 minutes. I made those first and put in freezer. While they were freezing I made the cupcakes and icing.
Note to self... My kids think I should put on more icing next time.
I made these for the neighbor boo treats.
