• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the mascarpone cheese to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 8

Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 9

Using a spoon or scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with your favorite frosting before serving.
