Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Butter Cream Frosting

Hi there! Don't these sound good? While they were very good, I think they would be better as muffins, not cupcakes. The cake part is way too dense in my opinion to be a cupcake. I need to try this again using a cake recipe that would be more light and fluffy, then they would be perfect! I plopped a ball of frozen chocolate chip cookie dough in the middle, and after the cupcakes were baked up, that part was heavenly! The dough was a little gooey, even the next day. It's a nice surprise! I have a post lined up about freezing cookie dough, and that's the dough I used in these. It's the Nestle Tollhouse original recipe. I topped these with my butter cream frosting, and I decreased the powdered sugar by 1/4 cup, and added 1/4 cup brown sugar. I really liked the brown sugar in the butter cream, it went perfect with the cupcakes. Make sure if you make it that you mix the brown sugar in there good, because you don't want gritty frosting. All in all, these were good, but I wouldn't make them again using the same cake recipe, if you have a tried and true classic yellow/white cake recipe, use that, and then just do everything the same way..you will love 'em! *btw, if you're noticing I have half of the ingredients in my 'ingredient picture' as I do in the recipe, that's because I halved it :)
