COOKIE CUPCAKES
These cupcakes taste very similar to fluffy chocolate chip cookies and were the signature dish of my husband's Aunt Lois when I first married into the family. His mother began making them also and they are her most-requested dish. Even when making traditional desserts for holidays, she adds these cupcakes. She even gives them as gifts.-Sue Smith, Joaquin, Texas

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH STUFFED CUPCAKES
This recipe by the author of "Funky Foodgasm A Pornographer of Food" caught my eye and I just had to post it... I haven't made these yet, but by looking at the ingredients and the photo that was included, it looks like delicious cupcake time to me! I will probably add walnuts or pecans in with the cookie dough when I make mine, as we all love nuts around here! PLEASE NOTE: The preparation time is just a guesstimate as I haven't made these yet, and it includes the time to freeze the Cookie Dough Balls.

- In chilled deep small bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. On tray, place 16 cookies right sides up. Spread 1 tablespoon whipped cream on top of each cookie, then top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 4 layers of cookies and ending with a layer of cream. Place each cookie cupcake in a decorative cupcake liners. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Garnish with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, if desired.

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE FROSTING
Steps:
- To make the cupcakes, preheat the oven to 350. In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the hot brewed coffee and cocoa powder until dissolved. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugars. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Blend in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Blend in the vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the coffee-cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix each addition just until incorporated, being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter between the prepared liners, filling each about two-thirds of the way full. Bake about 20 minutes. . When the cupcakes are cool, make the ganache by placing the chopped chocolate in a small bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer, pour over the chocolate, and let stand about 2 minutes. Whisk together until a smooth ganache forms. If needed, let cool briefly at room temperature to thicken slightly before using. To make the peanut butter cookie frosting, combine the peanut butter and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium-high for 1 minute. Add in the confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated. Mix until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and use clean, dry hands to form it into a patty. Use the tines of a fork to make the classic crisscross pattern on top of the "cookie". Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture. Use an offset spatula to spread a layer of ganache over the top of each cupcake. Place a peanut butter "cookie" on top of each cupcake.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. At least 2 minutes, longer with a hand held mixer.
- Mix in eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl with each addition.
- Add vanilla.
- Add salt and baking powder and mix just until combined.
- Incorporate flour, mixture will be thick.
- Add in half and half and mix thoroughly.
- Original directions say to divide batter into 12 cupcakes, I got 14 and they were all filled well.
- Bake 18 to 20 minute If you are new to baking with your oven check them at 16 minute Mine were done in 18. I checked mine with a toothpick, needs to come out clean.
- Cool cupcakes.
- To make frosting, allow both the butter and cream cheese to come to room temperature. If it is a hot day don't let them get too warm.
- Cream the butter and cream cheese for at least 3 minute You should NOT be able to tell that you have 2 ingredients in the bowl. You want a light yellow color with a fluffy look.
- Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, incorporating well. Don't forget to scrape the bowl frequently! :).
- Add vanilla and 2 tablespoons of half and half. Check consistency for frosting, add more half and half until you are happy with the thickness of your frosting.
- Frost and enjoy.
Tips:
- Choose the right cupcake base: The type of cupcake base you use will affect the overall flavor and texture of your cookie cupcakes. Some popular options include vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet.
- Use a cookie dough that is firm enough to hold its shape: If your cookie dough is too soft, it will spread out too much when baked and lose its cookie-like texture. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help it firm up.
- Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature for a short time: This will help to create a crispy cookie-like exterior and a soft and fluffy interior.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cupcakes.
Conclusion:
Cookie cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of cupcake bases and cookie dough flavors to choose from, there is sure to be a cookie cupcake recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a fun and unique dessert, give cookie cupcakes a try!
