1/2 Cup Butter
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Milk
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips (+ more for decoration)
1 Cup Butter, softened
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
4 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2-4 Tablespoons Milk or Heavy Cream
1 Cake Mix (Yellow, White, or Vanilla)
4 Eggs
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

Steps:

Place the eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer or mixing bowl and beat the eggs lightly.
Add the cake mix, oil, vanilla extract and milk. Beat on low for one minute, then on medium or high for 2 minutes.
Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and fill each liner with about 3 Tablespoons of cake batter.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Keep an eye on the baking time, because times will vary with different ovens.
Remove and allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
Add the softened butter, brown sugar and white sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla and milk, followed by the flour.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Beat the softened butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer for 1-2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla.
Add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing in between.
Mix in 2-4 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
To assemble the cupcakes, begin by removing the center of each cupcake. You can do this with a knife or a cupcake corer. Discard the cupcake middle.
Use a 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop to add cookie dough to the middle of each cupcake.
Add the frosting to a piping bag with a large star tip. Swirl the frosting on and top with remaining mini chocolate chips, if desired.
