Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcake!

I've been on a stuffed cupcake trip lately, don't know why really. I guess I just figure if you can put something extra delicious inside an already delicious cupcake, life couldn't get better.
I knew my sister, CJ, had a birthday coming up and I wanted to put something really good inside her cupcake. Now, she is a very odd person and does not like caramel or fruit fillings or anything like that so, I had to go waaay out there. Then it hit me, she loves chocolate chip cookies.

How could I possibly put a cookie together with a cupcake?

Yes, my friends. I have accomplished this feat. Meet the...

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcake

First you have to make chocolate chip cookie dough. Do me a favor and use mini-chocolate chips, they will make your cookie look more like a cookie. If you want my recipe, I'll share it. I really think any recipe could work, though. Roll the cookie dough into tablespoon size balls and freeze overnight.
DON'T skip this step.

Now, make yellow cupcake batter. If you don't have a favorite use mine from a previous post. Fill the liners about 2/3 way up then drop a frozen cookie ball in the middle. Push it all the way down. They should look like the picture above.

Now, bake them at 350 for 16-20 minutes.
Do not overbake these, it will make your cookie super crumbly and gross. Test the outside edge of the cupake to check for doneness, do not stick your toothpick in the middle.
The cookie continues to bake after removing from the oven, keep them in the pan for 10 minutes.

Let them cool completely on a rack and put a little dollop of chocolate frosting on top and watch people inhale this delicious treat!

Really, how could you resist these?

She inhaled her cupcake and was really sad when she realized it was gone.
