Instructions
- Flour Preparation: Sanitize flour by heating at 350F (175C) for 5 minutes or microwaving for 1 minute, stirring midway. Cool completely.
- Cookie Dough Creation: Blend butter and brown sugar until creamy. Mix in milk, vanilla, and cooled flour until uniform. Fold in mini chocolate chips and form 12 small spheres. Freeze half an hour for cupcake core fillings.
- Cupcake Batter Assembly: Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Whisk dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar until light. Integrate eggs and vanilla. Alternate dry mixture and milk, mixing minimally. Incorporate additional mini chocolate chips.
- Baking Process: Line muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill three-quarters full, positioning frozen dough ball in center. Bake 18-20 minutes, testing with toothpick near cake edge. Cool completely.
- Frosting Preparation: Whip butter and brown sugar until smooth. Gradually blend powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Fold in remaining mini chocolate chips.
- Final Touches: Decorate cooled cupcakes using piping bag or spatula. Garnish with reserved cookie dough fragments or extra chocolate chips. Serve immediately or store in sealed container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Sanitize Flour Safely: Heat flour in oven or microwave to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring food safety without compromising taste or texture.
- Prevent Overmixing Batter: Mix cake ingredients minimally to maintain a tender, light crumb and avoid dense, tough cupcakes.
- Freeze Dough Balls Precisely: Ensure cookie dough spheres are uniformly sized and completely frozen before inserting into cupcake batter for perfect center filling.
- Control Moisture Balance: Add milk gradually during frosting preparation to achieve ideal piping consistency, preventing runny or too-thick frosting.
