Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 22 - 2 1/2 inch muffin cups with paper baking cups and set aside. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, cream soda, butter, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes more. Scoop 2 Tbsp. of the batter into one of the prepared baking cups. Place 1 cookie dough portion into cup ontop of batter and cover with another Tbsp. batter. Repeat the process to make 22 cupcakes total.

2. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from muffin cups; cool on wire racks. Stir vanilla and salt into frosting. Frost cooled cupcakes with buttercream frosting; sprinkle each cupcake with about 1 tsp. of the miniature chocolate chips.
