Scale

Here’s a complete list of the ingredients you’ll need, with precise measurements:

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box – usually eggs, oil, and water)

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • Mini chocolate chips, for garnish.
  • Mini chocolate chip cookies, for garnish.

Instructions

Let’s get baking! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two muffin tins with 20 cupcake liners.

Step 2: Make the Cupcake Batter

In a large bowl, prepare the vanilla cake batter according to the package directions.

Step 3: Bake the Cupcakes

Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool and Core the Cupcakes

Let the cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tins.

Once cooled, use a melon baller or a teaspoon to scoop out the center of each cupcake, creating a well for the cookie dough.

Step 5: Make the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until light and creamy.

Add the heat-treated flour, beating on low speed until fully combined.

Beat in the milk until the dough comes together.

Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 6: Stuff the Cupcakes

Scoop a heaping teaspoon of cookie dough into the well of each cupcake. Press gently to flatten the top of the cookie dough so it’s level with the top of the cupcake.

Step 7: Make the Frosting

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together the softened butter and half of the powdered sugar (about 1 3/4 cups) until smooth.

Beat in the milk, vanilla extract, and salt.

Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 8: Frost and Garnish

Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large, round tip (or simply use a knife or spatula to spread the frosting).

Pipe or spread the frosting onto the stuffed cupcakes.

Garnish each cupcake with more mini chocolate chips and a mini chocolate chip cookie.

Serve and enjoy these incredibly delicious Cookie Dough Stuffed Cupcakes!
