Scale
For the cupcakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk

For the cookie dough filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
For the frosting:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with dry. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly among liners and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Make the cookie dough filling: In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix in milk and vanilla, then stir in flour and chocolate chips until a dough forms. Chill for 10 minutes if too soft. Use a paring knife or cupcake corer to remove the centers of the cooled cupcakes. Roll cookie dough into small balls and press into the center of each cupcake.
- Make the frosting: Beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Add vanilla, milk, and salt, and beat until light and creamy. Pipe or spread onto cupcakes and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
Notes
- To make heat-treated flour, microwave it in a bowl for 1 minute, stirring halfway, or bake at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Keep cupcakes chilled if not serving within a few hours.
