Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

When it comes to cupcakes, you don't need to ask. I will be the one who will voluntarily eat them all. It sounds selfish and overindulging cupcakes lover, but these delightful desserts are my guilty pleasure, so I don't blame myself for losing control a bit, or a lot (wink), especially when it comes to Cho-co-la-te desserts. Oh, how can chocolate be so cruel and delicious simultaneously?

When it comes to chocolate desserts, I feel like I was back in my teenage year dealing with my ex-boyfriend; you know he was no good for you, but he was so irresistible at the same time! Urgh!!!

My sister is the family's baker; I like whatever she bakes and eats. So from now and then, I'll drop her a call and ask if she would bake something sweet for me. And today, I bring home mouthwatering delicious Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip Cupcakes, and with her permission, I would love to share this recipe with you.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to put the frosting when we took this picture but believe me, the filling was delicious.

To make cookie Dough:

Put together butter and sugars in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth. Beat in the flour and salt until mixed; add and stir chocolate chips. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough at a time. Place cookie dough on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.

Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter.

1. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

2. Remove from oven to a baking rack and allow to cool completely.
