What’s better than a flavorful chocolate cupcake filled with cookie dough frosting and crunchy chocolate chip cookie jammed inside? Whether you’re barbecuing this weekend or glued to the World Cup matches, these chocolate cookie dough crunch cupcakes have go to be on the menu!Crunchy cookies + fluffy chocolate cupcakes + fudgy cookie dough are a texture sensation! {tweet this!}

The light and rich chocolate cupcake, the only chocolate cupcake recipe you’ll ever need, made from the top-notch Barefoot Contessa cookbook is the perfect vehicle for buttery chocolate chip cookie dough frosting and a crunchy chocolate chip cookie. Yes, choose crunchy. Normally I’m all for soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, but for the maximum chocolate cookie dough crunch cupcake texture experience, definitely go for crunchy.Make it easy on yourself: stuff these homemade chocolate cupcakes with store-bought Chips Ahoy cookies.This homemade frosting is in a class all it’s own. It’s eggless cookie dough that we pretend is frosting. You with me?

Some reviews about this cookie dough frosting from TidyMom claimed it was gritty, thick, and hard to pipe. People, it’s COOKIE DOUGH frosting. It’s dense, sandy (from the brown sugar), and DELISH!

Sure, it’s not easy to pipe into perfect ribbons (though it CAN be done!) and it doesn’t have the airy, creamy mouthfeel of Swiss meringue buttercream frosting because it’s cookie dough. I used the frosting as a filling layer inside the cupcakes rather than on top, so I halved the recipe. If you want to stuff the cuppies AND frost the tops too, be sure to double the frosting recipe below.

Alright, now that you know what you’re getting into, let’s bake, shall we?!

Chocolate Cookie Dough Crunch Cupcakes Ingredients

Cupcakes ¾ cup (1½ sticks)butter, at room temperature ⅔ cup sugar ⅔ cup brown sugar, packed 2 eggs, at room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup buttermilk ½ cup sour cream 2 tablespoons brewed coffee 1¾ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup cocoa powder 1½ teaspoons baking soda ½ teaspoon salt Cookie Dough Frosting 1½ (3/4 cup) sticks butter, at room temperature 6 tablespoons brown sugar, packed 1¾ cups confectioners’ sugar ½ cup all-purpose flour pinch salt 4 teaspoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 30 Chocolate chip cookies Instructions

Start the cupcakes by preheating oven to 350F. Line a cupcake pan with 30 muffin cups. In a medium bowl combine vanilla, buttermilk, sour cream, and coffee. Set aside. In another bowl sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl cream butter and both sugars until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time until combined. Scrape bowl. On low speed add buttermilk mixture in 3 parts, alternating with flour. Beat only until combined. Distribute among muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full. I use this scoop to make it easier. You may or may not use all the muffin cups. Bake 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from pan to a cooling rack and start the frosting.

Cookie dough frosting is made by beating brown sugar and butter for about 2 minutes until fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and beat to combine. On medium speed add flour and salt until smooth and then pour in milk and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.

Assemble cupcakes by slicing the top ⅓ off each cupcake horizontally. Pipe or spoon a dollop of frosting onto the bottom half of the cupcake and press a cookie into the frosting. Finish by topping the cupcake and adding more frosting on top, if desired. 3.2.1311

So how’s that for a new spin on cookie dough?! What’s your favorite way to eat cookie dough? A couple of weeks ago my friend brought a big bowl of cookie dough to a mom group meeting. She brought spoons. And cups.

That beautiful afternoon, late red sun gleaming as we watched our kids hanging upside down from the red jungle gym and scooping out plentiful globs of cookie dough into our cups was my first experience eating cookie dough with a spoon when I wasn’t dusted in flour and halfway through mixing a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Brand new territory. Have you been there? Share your most bizarre cookie dough experience in the comments below.
