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 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together 0.5 cups unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add 2 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 0.75 cups milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in 0.75 cups mini chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

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

Prepare the edible cookie dough by creaming together 0.25 cups unsalted butter and 0.25 cups brown sugar until smooth.

Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 0.5 cups heat-treated all-purpose flour until combined. Fold in 0.25 cups mini chocolate chips. Roll into 12 small balls and refrigerate.

To make the frosting, beat 0.5 cups unsalted butter with 1.5 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons milk, beating until creamy.
