Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
Now I would first like to say that two years ago, I didn't care for cupcakes. You gave me a cupcake, I would...*gasp* I don't know if I can even write this..turn it down. Why? You might ask? (And I would ask right now. What is wrong with you, seriously)
I can't actually answer that question. Maybe I've never tried one that was really spectacular before. Maybe I didn't like sweet things (don't worry, I've gotten over that phase. I have a massive addiction, although I don't think that's a good thing...)

5. Β Scoop 3 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cavity, and place the frozen cookie dough ball on top of the batter.
6. Β Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted (into the side of the cupcake. NOT the middle, because the cookie dough will be gooey) comes out clean. Let cool on wire racks

Hi Cathleen, they look delicious. Well, I must admit I often say no to cupcakes. Most of them is just too sweet, just too much. I'm sure your are just delicious, anything with chocolate inside must be good π

I've made chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes before, but they definitely didn't turn out this pretty!
I can't imagine ever not liking cupcakes, I had so many of them growing up. These look much better than anything I have had before though π
