How to Turn Cookie Mix Into Cupcakes
This Cupcake Recipe Calls For:
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- sprinkles
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 and lining muffin tins with paper liners.
Cream butter, Brown Sugar, Sugar in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add in Egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Beat well on medium-high speed.
In a small bowl, sift together the dry ingredients – flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop the cookie cupcake batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake cupcakes in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cupcakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
For best results, let your cupcakes cool on a wire rack until they are room temperature.
If you want to take your cookie cupcakes to the next level, consider adding your favorite frosting recipe once they have cooled. Buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or a drizzle of melted chocolate can be excellent choices.
Store leftover cookie cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator or freeze them.

Because of the Coronavirus, my workplace is only allowing us to bring in foods that are individually wrapped. I wanted so badly to make cookies, so these were a great alternative. Thank you for sharing <3
