CUPCAKES!!!

I decided to use a boxed mix for the actual cupcakes.  My kitchen-aid mixer was on the top shelf in the garage and I really wanted to try the cookie dough in a devil food cupcake.  Ya see, ATC's daycare provider (as stated in previous post) used the cookie dough in a yellow cupcake.  I've been obsessed with chocolate (wait - who is not obsessed).

I couldn't help taking this picture.  I can't count as I had 4 cupcakes with no balls.  But the finished product was - wait for it, AMAZING!!!!
The cookie dough in the middle just makes the cupcake!!!!!  Here is the recipe:
Cookie Dough:
2 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup chocolate chips
To make the cookie dough, combine the butter and sugars in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in milk and vanilla until incorporated and smooth. Beat in the flour and salt until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Using a 1.5 tbsp scoop, shape the dough into balls or tubes. Freeze on a parchment lined baking sheet overnight. (original recipe)
Cupcakes:
Use whatever mix you have on hand!!
Make cupcakes as instructed.  After each cupcake liner is filled 2/3 full, drop the cookie dough ball right on top!  And magically, they come out smooth on top!  Yummy!
