Cookie Dough Cupcakes
The cookie dough cupcakes recipe was from a Tasty video posted on Facebook. I promised Emma we’re going to make the 6 different cupcakes during the weekends. She wanted to do the cookie dough first so I figured the cupcakes would be great as our Super Bowl treat. But of course we ate some before the Sunday’s game.
The recipe from the video is pretty straight forward since it’s using a cake batter mix. You can make the batters from scratch if you prefer it that way. We used cake mix and chocolate chip cookie mix to make it easier for Emma and also considering my lack of counter space. So, aside from the mixes, just read the instructions on the boxes for other ingredients and instructions which I will go through in the step-by-step below.

Instructions

Bake them in the oven for 20 minutes.

That cookie surprise in the middle is really good.
This recipe made 20 cupcakes. I was going for 24 but halfway through I realized I was being generous with the cake batter so watch the amount of the first pour. The good thing is I had extra cookie dough so I baked that too afterwards. If you have kids who loves to bake this is a good one to start with. Enjoy!
