Preparation
Step 1
First mix up a batch of your favorite cookie dough (or use store bought) roll into 24 1″ balls and freeze for at least 1 hour before using. The cookie dough will not have enough time to bake if they are frozen all the way through – thats what you want! Use the remaining cookie dough to make mini cookies to use as toppers to the cupcakes.
For Vanilla Cupcakes:
In large bowl beat together sugar, butter, and oil until very light and fluffy. Add in vanilla and eggs one at a time. With mixer on low slowly add in flour, milk and baking powder, then turn to high and mix for 2 minutes. Pour evenly into 24 cupcake liners and drop a ball of cookie dough in the center of each one – do NOT press down. Bake at 350* for about 15-18 minutes or until done. Cool on wire rack and frost. Store in the refrigerator. Let cupcakes come to room temp before serving.
For Fudge Frosting:
Melt butter and chocolate together and let cool slightly. Add sugar, vanilla, and a splash of milk and beat together. Turn mixer on high and slowly add more milk until it reaches desired consistency.
Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting:
Beat everything on high until light and fluffy.
