Best Cookie Dough Cupcakes With Ganache Frosting Recipes

COOKIE DOUGH CUPCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• To make the cookie dough filling, mix together 5 tablespoons softened butter, ¼ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup flour in a mixing bowl. Mix in the chocolate chips. Use your hands to form the crumbly mixture into a large ball. Place the cookie dough in the fridge while preparing the cupcake batter.
• In a large mixing bowl, add ¼ cup white sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix to combine.
• Mix in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the oil, vanilla extract, and ½ cup milk.
• Prepare a cupcake pan with paper liners. Scoop the batter into the cupcake pan and fill each well about halfway full.
• Break off small pieces of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Dip the bottom of each ball in a bit of flour before placing in each cupcake well.
• Bake the cupcakes for 18 minutes until the tops are set. Once baked, remove from the oven and set aside to completely cool.
• To make the frosting, add the ½ cup softened butter into a mixing bowl. Cream the butter and add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix, then add in 2 tablespoons milk, and mix again.
• Gradually mix in the remaining powdered sugar until the frosting forms. Turn the speed up on the mixer to mix until fluffy.
• Frost the cupcakes and decorate with additional mini chocolate chips or leftover cookie dough.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH + CUPCAKE = THE BEST CUPCAKE. EVER.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt; set aside. Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg and the vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls; place onto a baking sheet, and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Beat 3 eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer to break up. Add the cake mix, water, and canola oil; continue beating for 2 minutes on medium speed. Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each 2/3 full. Place a frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake portion of the cupcake (not the cookie dough ball) comes clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
