Did you ever think you could put frozen cookie dough into cupcake batter and get a great tasting cupcake? Well look no further because these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes does that for you!
First let me tell you. This is not my recipe. I did not invent this. I just adapted it very slightly to fit my needs and time constraints. You must go look at the website I found this on! Amanda’s cupcakes are just beautiful and makes you want to eat them right off the screen!! She also has step by step instructions if you are a visual person like me and need to see it!
Ok so what I will tell you is that you must make these immediately! They are that good. Really! I am serious. Who likes to eat raw cookie dough? Most everybody who doesn’t worry about getting sick from raw eggs. What is so great about this cookie dough is that this is eggless! Woot! Woot! Now are you going to believe me that you must make these immediately?
Also I took a short cut and used boxed cake mix. I know that means these are not 100% homemade but it makes the process in getting these cupcakes done fast. ENJOY!!!
