Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cookie Dough Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious baking adventure, grab a large bowl and whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt.

2. Step 2

   Set this mixture aside for now.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, take your softened butter and combine it with white sugar and brown sugar using an electric mixer.

4. Step 4

   Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.

5. Step 5

   Next, add one egg and a splash of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and continue beating until everything is well blended.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined.

7. Step 7

   Be gentle as you fold in those miniature semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

8. Step 8

   Once your cookie dough is ready, scoop out tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet.

9. Step 9

   Pop the baking sheet in the freezer for about two hours, allowing the dough balls to become solid.

10. Step 10

    While you wait, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare 24 muffin cups by lining them with paper liners.

11. Step 11

    In a large bowl, lightly beat three eggs with your electric mixer.

12. Step 12

    Then, add in the yellow cake mix, water, and canola oil, mixing everything together on medium speed for about two minutes until it’s well combined and smooth.

13. Step 13

    Now, it’s time to fill those cupcake liners! Spoon the batter into each liner, filling them about two-thirds full.

14. Step 14

    For the grand finale, place a frozen cookie dough ball right in the center of each cupcake batter, creating a delightful surprise inside.

15. Step 15

    Bake your creations in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes.

16. Step 16

    To check if they’re done, insert a toothpick into the cake portion (just avoid the cookie dough) and see if it comes out clean.

17. Step 17

    Once baked to perfection, let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy the delightful combination of cake and cookie in every bite!.
