Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 ⅓ cups water
⅓ cup canola oil
3 eggs

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt; set aside. Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg and the vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls; place onto a baking sheet, and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Beat 3 eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer to break up. Add the cake mix, water, and canola oil; continue beating for 2 minutes on medium speed. Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each 2/3 full. Place a frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake portion of the cupcake (not the cookie dough ball) comes clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

You don't have to choose between cookies or cupcakes when you make this easy recipe for cookie dough cupcakes. Plus, it'll be ready in just about 30 minutes!

Provided by Molly Allen

Categories     dessert, easy

Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
½ cup white sugar, divided
1 ½ cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
¼ cup oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, divided
½ cup plus 5 tablespoons butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar (more, as needed)
¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • To make the cookie dough filling, mix together 5 tablespoons softened butter, ¼ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup flour in a mixing bowl. Mix in the chocolate chips. Use your hands to form the crumbly mixture into a large ball. Place the cookie dough in the fridge while preparing the cupcake batter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add ¼ cup white sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the oil, vanilla extract, and ½ cup milk.
  • Prepare a cupcake pan with paper liners. Scoop the batter into the cupcake pan and fill each well about halfway full.
  • Break off small pieces of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Dip the bottom of each ball in a bit of flour before placing in each cupcake well.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 18 minutes until the tops are set. Once baked, remove from the oven and set aside to completely cool.
  • To make the frosting, add the ½ cup softened butter into a mixing bowl. Cream the butter and add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix, then add in 2 tablespoons milk, and mix again.
  • Gradually mix in the remaining powdered sugar until the frosting forms. Turn the speed up on the mixer to mix until fluffy.
  • Frost the cupcakes and decorate with additional mini chocolate chips or leftover cookie dough.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate for the ganache frosting. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give the frosting a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly and give the cupcakes a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cupcakes dry.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cupcakes.

Conclusion:

Cookie dough cupcakes with ganache frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cupcakes are moist and fluffy, with a rich and decadent chocolate ganache frosting. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookie dough cupcakes a try.
