chocolate chip cupcakes with cookie dough buttercream Recipes

I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! I spent the evening yesterday making valentines with Abby for her class party, and she’s bursting with excitement for all the valentine fun. If I could make cupcakes for her class party (which I can’t, because food safety or something) these chocolate chip cupcakes with cookie dough buttercream would totally be the ones I would make!

The cupcakes are light and moist, with chocolate chips sprinkled evenly throughout, and the frosting tastes just like cookie dough! I love how unique and delicious these cupcakes are. Not only that, they’re super easy!

Cupcakes

• 1 1/2 cups cake flour
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, cold, cut into small cubes
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cup milk (I used skim, and it worked fine)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 ounces mini chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling
• Preheat oven to 350. Line two muffin tins with paper liners. In a large bowl or a the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the milk and vanilla in a measuring cup, and add about half of the milk mixture to the flour mixture. Beat until well blended and smooth.
