Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

I am sorry it has been a while...there has been a lot going on over here! I have been wanting to share this recipe for a long time, I think everyone will love it.

I made these when I was craving sweetness & I sure got what I wanted. They are super sweet! I thought they were the best the second day right out of the fridge - it made the cookie dough harden again and was so yummy. They are really easy! They can be made with this dough recipe or you can just save a little next time you make some of your favorite cookies. If you are a cookie dough lover, give these a try!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcake

1 1/2 cups flour

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 salt

1/2 cups soft butter

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 brown sugar

1 egg

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup mini chocolate chips

1 box white cake mix

1 1/3 cups water

1/3 cup canola oil

3 eggs

Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium size bowl and set aside. In another bowl, beat the butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth and then blend in the egg and vanilla. Mix in the flour mixture until just blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and then form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.

After the dough has been frozen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line the muffin cups with paper liners or non-stick spray.

Beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs until well blended. Spoon into the muffin tins, filling 2/3 full. Place a frozen cookie dough ball in the top center of each cupcake.

Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes & until a toothpick comes out clean (not in the cookie dough ball!). Frost and enjoy! Here is a picture of the yummy cookie dough middle.
