Even though cupcakes aren’t necessarily my favorite dessert to eat (because, well, ice cream exists), I have come to realize that they are by far one of my favorite things to bake. I get overly excited about piping bags and frosting tips, food coloring and sprinkles. When it came time to decide which essential items I was going to be bringing across the country on our move, you better believe my cupcake supplies box made the list. I even made room for it in my car by throwing out my printer. *Priorities*
I made these chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes for my brother and sister-in-law’s going away party this past weekend. They are about to embark on a round-the-world trip and they wanted to throw one last bash before they take off. Although it’s extremely unfortunate that they’re leaving Colorado just as we arrived, I’m incredibly excited for them- it’s a once in a life time opportunity and they’ll be back in Denver before we know it. And, at least we’ll be able to follow along on their travels on their blog, Abroad Direction.
Anyway, back to the cupcakes. I’m going to be honest. I made up this frosting recipe as I went, adding a little of this and a little of that, and I was nervous that it would come out too sweet. Based on the fact that the cupcakes were gone within minutes of me putting them out, I’d say they came out a-OK. I enjoyed coyly smiling from the corner of the party as I watched people wandering around after a few beers, stuffing cupcakes in their mouths asking who made them. Muahahaha. That would be me.
These cupcakes have a dark chocolate base, and are topped with a swirl of cookie dough flavored frosting and mini chocolate chips. The cake is decadent, the frosting is sweet, and the chocolate chips are the perfect crunchy topper. I hope you enjoy my latest cupcake endeavor!
