CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH CUPCAKES Recipes

Cookie dough is such a weakness of mine. I find myself constantly taste testing the dough when I’m baking cookies, even though I totally know what it tastes like. Ok, I just love eating it. It’s so yummy! For National Chocolate Chip Day, I decided it would be fun to come up with a cupcake recipe that also highlighted the goodness of the chocolate chip cookie. These cupcakes are fabulous!

The frosting on these cupcakes is a chocolate chip cookie dough frosting. It is tasty! I love the look of the mini chocolate chips sprinkled on the top. Not to mention the delicious tiny cookie perched at the very top! This cupcake is GOOD.
