Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup Butter (for frosting, softened)
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the buttercream frosting. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until smooth.

Step 11

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the frosting mixture, and beat until fluffy and spreadable.

Step 12

Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, pipe or spread the frosting onto each cupcake.

Step 13

If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top as a garnish.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes!
