Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Oh mama mia, you are going to love these cookie dough cupcakes! When we were in Chicago for Kevin’s birthday, we ran into this little bakery that had cookie dough cupcakes. Yes, cookie dough in the cupcake! Hallelujah! I couldn’t figure out how the cookie dough was still, well, dough, inside a baked cupcake, until a sweet Facebook friend Denise informed me that you freeze the dough in advance so it doesn’t bake inside the cupcake. Brilliant! Thank you Denise!

I immediately and profusely professed my undying love for Denise, but I haven’t heard back yet.

I’ll keep you updated on that.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

So, you totally have to try these! Take your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe and fill your muffin tins 2/3 full. I used a 3 tbsp scoop and it turned out to be just right.

Scoop!

The cake part itself is not actually the dominant flavor of these cupcakes, so if you wanted to use a box mix for these cupcakes, no one would ever know! :) Or you can try doctoring up a cake mix like this. How good would a vanilla cake mix with white chocolate jello pudding be?? :)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Here’s my frozen cookie dough. Make these the night before so they are good and frozen. I used my favorite cookie dough recipe for this. I never want to bake it, so I figured it’d be perfect for these cupcakes. :)

For this application, I substituted the eggs with milk (1 egg = 2 tbsp milk.) and used mini chocolate chips.

Now here’s the totally cool part. You just plop the frozen dough right on top of the cupcake batter. For real!

And you will not believe how these come out of the oven…

Just. like. this. Seriously, right? You can’t tell at all! Love it!

There is some very yummy cookie dough hiding in here.

Hello, love. Can you see the little heavenly bites of goodness peeking through?

Now when I read about this Cookie Dough Buttercream Frosting, I was so all over that.

I totally had to try it. It’s everything you love about buttercream… heavenly, light, whipped, buttery…

And it tastes JUST. like. cookie dough.

Cookie dough. Frosting!

Smoosh! Cookie dough, baby!

Next time (oh there will so be a next time) I am going to try shaping the cookie dough in tubes. I’m betting it’ll turn out more like these.

Oh, and see these cute little cupcake holders? :) I made these using the Silhouette. So fun!

I printed out cute cupcake paper from my digital scrapbooking stash, but I also just saw some really cute cupcake paper at Hobby Lobby. Then I found this free cupcake wrapper pattern and converted it for use on the Silhouette. Or there are tons of really cute cupcake wrappers in the Silhouette store, too!

There’s still time to enter the giveaway (ends Wednesday night) so head on over there and check it out! :)

Enjoy these cupcakes! :)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
with Cookie Dough Buttercream Frosting

For the 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 mini chocolate chips

For the cupcakes:
3 sticks softened butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract

For the frosting:
3 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

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 mins. 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.

To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350° F.  Line two cupcake pans with paper liners (24 total).  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and brown sugar.  Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.  Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.  Stir together to blend.  Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl on low speed, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing each addition just until incorporated.  Blend in the vanilla.

Using a 3 tbsp scoop, fill the prepared cupcake liners 2/3 full with the cupcake batter. Place a frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake.

Bake at 350 for 16-18 mins.

To make the frosting, combine the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.  Beat in the powdered sugar until smooth.  Beat in the salt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.

Frost the cupcakes and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips!

Makes 24 cupcakes.

I am going to have to make these cupcakes soon. They look delish.

You can also use an apple corer to take the center out of the baked cupcake and fill it with the cookie dough. This way you can make then in one day or fill them with anything yummy that you could not cook (lemon curd, jellies, marshmellow, ect..) The options are limitless.

Thanks for the great recipe.

I have got to try these for my hubby sometime SOON!!! I was going to let it be a surprise but just had to tell him about them last night. I’ll let him be my excuse for making them! And, I’ll just “hide” a few for me! :)

I always enjoy your posts and share many of your loves…photography, furry babies, etc. :)

Oh geez…these cupcakes look amazingly good! I pinned the recipe to one of my pinterest board so I can bake them soon! Yum!

Amanda, I noticed that you use the Silhouette…how do you like it? I have a Cricut Expression and I love it but I have to purchase the Sure Cuts A Lot software to use any .svg files. Do you have to purchase additional software for the Silhouette?

Just curious if I should be investing in a Silhouette instead of my Cricut. ;)

Thanks!

*edit*

3 tbsp was way too much for my cupcakes! I didn’t even use all the batter! Also, my dough balls did not get completely covered. Maybe hat’s a good thing though. I am frosting them anyway do it doesn’t matter. The look wonderful and smell delicious!

Amanda,
I have finally gotten around to making these. They were delicious, although much better if you actually wait for them to cool. The only problem I had was after they were out of the oven for a little bit, there was a big indentation where the cookie dough dropped down and when you eat them there is an empty space above the dough. Do you think I didn’t make my ball of cookie dough big enough? I definitely have to get a set of those scoops that you always use.

Lindsay November 16, 2010 at 5:32 pm

ok I am in the middle of making these now :)

i just made my cookie dough, not sure if my scoop is 1.5 tbsp, it looks about that size, but i ended up with 40 balls of cookie dough, waaaay more than 24. i wouldn’t think they need to be any bigger…maybe i’ll just keep the rest frozen for the next batch of cupcakes?

Hello Amanda,

As I sit here writing out my shopping list for tomorrow morning (and adding all the ingredients needed for this amazing recipe). I was hoping someone had already asked this question, but no such luck. The butter you are using is it unsalted or salted? I’d hate to buy the wrong thing & end up ruining the entire recipe.

OMW! These are unbelieveable!! I’m a sucker for cookie dough but I don’t bake…I mean, at all. I’m not good at it so I leave it to the ones who God graced with that talent. Otherwise known as my dear friend, Melanie. I printed her the recipe and she brought these delicious cupcakes to school today (we’re all teachers). Let’s just say the teachers were on a sugar high after lunch!! They were fantastic!! Thank you Amanda for sharing this recipe and for your blog…its so fabulous!!

Hey Amanda – So when I first saw this recipe I fell in love, but I’m not that adventurous when it comes to baking, so I didn’t do anything about it…until this week! I finally got up the courage to make these for a Christmas Party and they turned out great!! Not as pretty as yours, but they taste great! Oh, and I froze the cookie dough in tubes and it worked really good, but I think I may have made my tubes a tad too long. Anyway, just wanted to share my success and thank you for the fantastic recipe! Oh and this was the first time I’ve ever attempted any sort of cake not from a box! You are an inspiration to me! haha!! Thanks!!

I made these yesterday for a family gathering/going away party along with cupcakes using my mom’s recipe for red velvet cake with fluffy white frosting. For my family, the red velvet cupcakes were a bigger hit because the choc chip cookie dough cupcakes are just too sweet. I did get a lot of compliments on them especially the frosting. I think if I made these again, I would maybe try them as a mini cupcake. Two bites of this sweetness was more than enough.

i just made them… so delicious. the icing actually tasted like cookie dough! each part of the cupcake individually was amazing but when eaten all together it was a bit too salty. i forgot to put vanilla in the cupcake batter so that might have been why, or maybe i accidentally put too much salt in. but all in all it was fantastic!

YUM! I just made these this evening, we used a yellow cake mix (and followed the 3 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, 1.5 cups water) and instant vanilla pudding was added. I did beat together eggs and oil before adding powders, and finally water. However- my mix only made 23 cupcakes :) And I had a little leftover cookie dough… but who is complaining?! :)

My SIL never eats frosting, but licked every last drop of hers, what an accomplished baker I felt!! :)

Hi, I’m wondering if you meant to leave out the flour in the frosting recipe? The site you link to for that recipe has a good deal of flour in the recipe. I didn’t realize this until after I frosted my cupcakes, but I did think it was too soft and buttery, that it needed some thickening up. Oh well, still tastes yummy!

I set out on this cupcake making adventure with a little hesitancy. Mainly because I didn’t really think I could make them or if I did succeed in making them, the wouldn’t look or taste as good as the cupcakes in the picture. Well, I just finished! And while they definitely don’t look as good (too much cupcake batter + cookie dough balls that were a little too big [due to not having the proper instruments]), they are without a doubt, the BEST cupcake I have ever had in my life. They are meltinyourmouthmakeyourtastebudsscreamwithdelightandwonder kind of delicious. And should most definitely be served with a cold glass of milk!

I made these for my sisters high school chorus bake sale and there wasn’t a cupcake in sight by the end of it. I did my own experimenting and found that if you take the cupcakes out of the oven halfway through baking and then put the dough in them it ends up just about dead center in the finished cupcake. There was a little empty space above the dough in some of the cupcakes but I just filled that with frosting.
I also created a white chocolate macadamia version that was equally mind blowing. I substituted the vanilla extract in the frosting for almond and then used white chocolate chips on top. I will most definitely be making these again.

I just made these cupcakes. I tried freezing the dough in both bars and balls. The bars tended to causes bigger “dents” in the top of the cupcakes once they cooled. In general I was wondering how to prevent these “dents” or collapsing of the top of the cupcake. They looked like yours when I took them out, but then while they cooled collapsed in the middle. Perhaps I didn’t cook them long enough? I just covered up the dents with frosting and it was fine. Thanks for the recipe, they sure are tasty.

Molly October 1, 2011 at 2:53 pm

So I made these today, and had a bit of trouble. In my oven at least, 18 min at 350 wasn’t even close to enough to cook the cupcake batter through! I ended up with cups that were browned on top, but completely mush inside! I think it must have been that 1.5 tbsp ended up with very large balls of dough, and since it was very frozen, it kept the cupcake batter from cooking! Next time I’ll take the cookie dough out of the freezer when I start making the batter (or a little before), instead of right before they were going into the oven! Anyway, definitely going to make these again, hopefully with better luck!

Hey there! These looked so good that I’m currently making them for my twin niece’s 11th birthday party today!! Question though….when you say this makes 24, are you talking about the extra large muffin pans you can buy? because I have enough extra batter to make at least a dozen more cupcakes! also, the cookie dough recipe yielded 43 scoops…did you have extra when you made them too? Thanks!

I made these cupcakes as the recipe said. I froze the cookie dough for almost 24 hours but it still melted in the oven, rather than staying in dough form. The result was a very greasy, heavy, cake. I cooked at 350 for 16.5 minutes. Any ideas?

The heaviness of the cake might be caused by over-mixing or adding the flour too quickly (I made that mistake!).

I was too impatient so didn’t add the frozen cookie dough. I kinda cheated my way to it – I chilled the cookie dough, used an apple corer (or you could just use the ends of a spoon or knife) to punch a hole into the cupcake and filled the hole with the cookie dough (helps to put it in a ziplock bag and cut off a corner to pipe it into the hole) and covered the cookie dough filled hole with frosting.

Why not go over the top if you are going to indulge! I am afraid to make these because they will surely make all other cupcakes pale in comparison!

Fabulous concept which definitely bears repeating – but I found the cupcake a bit dry and overly sweet (potentially a result of over-mixing) – I think I might try it with a chocolate or vanilla cupcake instead of having the entire cupcake be brown sugar-y.

Made these tonight and they turned out great! Only thing, when I made the frosting to your recipe it was watery so I knew something was wrong. Looked at the sources you got the recipe from and saw that you forgot to put the 1 cup of flour in the frosting! :) Just letting you know. Thank you for the recipe, they’re awesome!

I just made these today and cannot wait to try them. I had to taste the cookie dough last night and it was quite tasty along with the frosting so I’m sure they are going to be delicious!! Now, I just have to wait until after dinner at our friend’s house.

I made these last night for a church function tonight. They taste absolutely wonderful! Just wondering though, since it called for so much butter, did anyone else’s cupcakes turn out greasy?? I put paper towels on my cooling rack and then set the cupcakes on them to sop up all the grease. And my icing was a little grainy, probably from the brown sugar, too. Help!!

Will they still be good the night before? Will the dough get hard?

Help! I made these and the cookie dough “melted” and made a hole in the center of the cupcake. I made the cookie dough balls and froze them for two days before baking the cupcakes. Took them from the freezer straight to the cupcakes, no thawing. After cooling they tasted fine and it was just like a really underdone cookie at the bottom of a hollowed out cupcake.

Can’t wait to try this out! They look so yummy. But I have a quick question, do all of the butter stated have to be unsalted or salted? Thanks for helping out!

I made these over the weekend for a friend’s birthday party and they were sooo good. I even got one “This is the best cupcake I’ve ever had in my life.” They taste just like cookie dough, and who doesn’t love that?

YOU!
Are amazing!
Admittedly, if I have had a stressful day, reading your recipes brings me so much joy!
It’s seriously like comfort eating minus the food.
I’ve tried at least 5 of your savory recipes, and I am never going to fall out of love with your ice cream recipe.

Eventually, I will pluck up the courage to make these (I am not too fantastic at baking)
Maybe when my son’s class party again :)
LOL I think I will be rubbing the other mothers’ noses up the wrong way with such epic cupcakes XD
