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

Lemon-Ginger Icebox Cookie Cupcakes image

These delicious "cupcakes" are actually made with cookies. When stacked between layers of whipped cream and then chilled, the cookies become cake-like. Fresh fruit adds a festive and colorful touch.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 12h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar

On ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 1 inch apart. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 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.

  • Add the brown sugar and mix for about another three minutes.
  • Turn the mixer to low, and slowly add the confectioner's sugar. Blend well.
  • Continue mixing on low and add the vanilla and the pinch of salt, then slowly add the half-and-half until the frosting reaches desired spreading consistency.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes, then press a few additional chocolate chips into the top.

I found this recipe through a couple websites pinned on Pinterest. I adjusted the frosting to my preference. I really liked the flavor of the cupcakes, but I may try using sour cream instead of half and half next time

  • 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! :).

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE FROSTING



CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE FROSTING image

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the cupcakes:
1½ cups hot brewed coffee
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp. baking soda
¾ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
12 tbsp. (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
For the ganache:
6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
½ cup heavy cream
For the peanut butter cookie frosting:
9 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1½ cups creamy peanut butter
3 cups confectioners' sugar

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.

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!
