  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch

  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar (packed light or dark)
  • 1/4 cup White granulated sugar
  • 3 TBSP Milk (any)

  • 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted butter (slightly cold)
  • 4 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cupcakes bake evenly. Take a moment to gather your ingredients while the oven heats up.
  2. Prepare the cupcake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream 6 tablespoons of room-temperature unsalted butter with 3/4 cup of white granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in 2 large eggs (one at a time), 2 tablespoons of oil, 1/2 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Beat until smooth and combined. The mixture should be glossy and slightly thick.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, or the cupcakes will be tough. Fold in 1/3 cup of rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners: Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each cup about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool the cupcakes: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before filling them with cookie dough.
  7. Make the cookie dough: While the cupcakes cool, prepare your cookie dough by mixing 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of cornstarch, 1/2 tsp of salt, 3/4 cup of room-temperature unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract, and 1 cup of mini chocolate chips until combined. The dough should be thick but pliable.
  8. Fill the cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are cool, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake. Fill each hole generously with the cookie dough, then replace the tops.
  9. Make the frosting: For the cream cheese frosting, beat 3/4 cup of slightly cold unsalted butter, 4 oz of room-temperature cream cheese, 3 cups of sifted powdered sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until fluffy. Gradually add 1/8 cup of heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency.
  10. Frost the cupcakes: Use a piping bag to frost the cooled cupcakes with the cream cheese cookie dough frosting. Top each cupcake with a small dollop of remaining cookie dough for decoration.
  11. Serve and enjoy: Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of cookie dough and cupcake in every bite!

Keywords: Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense cupcakes. Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification, and watch your baking time closely to prevent overbaking.
