Choc-Chip cookie dough cupcakes

Never would I have imagined finding myself eating cookie dough. I never really had the taste for it until I tried Ben and Jerry's cookie dough icecream; But because that was the only cookie dough I have actually liked, I was disappointed with the taste of this dough. Though saying this, I would definately make these cakes again.

Cookie Dough recipe:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Cupcake recipe:
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

To make Cookie Dough:  

1 Combine butter and both sugars in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. 

2. Beat in milk and vanilla until incorporated and smooth. Beat in the flour and salt until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. 

3. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough at a time, and shape into balls. Place cookie dough balls on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight

To make Cupcakes:  

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius. Line two cupcake pans with paper liners.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 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 sides of bowl as needed.

 

3. 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. Mix each addition just until incorporated. Blend in the vanilla.

 

. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the cupcake batter. Place frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake. Bake at 350 for 16-18 minutes.
