cookbook, so that’s what I made. They have chocolate buttercream frosting, and I have to say they were really quite tasty and easy to make.\nRead on for the recipe!<\/p>\n
\nCookie Dough Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
\nfrom Cupcakes from the Cake Mix Doctor by Anne Byrn
\nmakes 24
\nIngredients:
\npaper liners for the cupcake pans
\n1 package plain yellow cake mix
\n1 package vanilla instant pudding mix
\n1 cup whole milk
\n1 cup vegetable oil
\n4 large eggs
\n1 tsp vanilla extract
\n1 package frozen cookie dough (I used the mini Pillsbury dough from the dairy section then threw them in the freezer)
\nPreheat oven to 350F. Prepare the cupcake tins by inserting the liners.
\nDump the cake mix, pudding mix, whole milk, veggie oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat a few minutes until well blended. Scoop batter into the cupcake tins (I used an ice cream scoop. The recipe says to put in 1\/4 cup to fill 2\/3 full, but I tend to overfill mine because I don’t have enough cupcake tins). Cut the frozen cookie dough to make 24 pieces. Place a piece on top of each cupcake. Place pans in oven.
\nBake about 23-27 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when lightly prodded. Cool in pans on racks for 5 minutes then remove from the pans and continue to cool for about 15 minutes before frosting.
\nChocolate Buttercream Frosting
\n1 stick butter, room temp
\n1\/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
\n3 cups powdered sugar, sifted (I didn’t sift)
\n3-5 tablespoons milk
\n1 tsp vanilla extract
\nBlend the butter and cocoa powder in a large bowl using an electric mixer on low. When the mixture is combined, add the powdered sugar, about 3 tablespoons of milk, and the vanilla. Blend on low for about a minute then increase the speed and beat until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
