So the July challenge of the month was to make Captain America Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes and I'm 100% Team Cap so you know that I was all the way on board with this one.
The recipe is courtesy of All Recipes, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes, and was pretty simple to make. I made the chocolate chip cookie dough from a family recipe on Sunday and left them to freeze until Friday when I made the cupcakes. I definitely agree that you need to make sure to freeze your cookie dough balls or you are going to have dry, nasty cookies in the middle of a delicious cupcake.
Aren't they pretty?
The frosting was a chocolate buttercream and is a recipe that came from my Mom. Everyone in my family had a cupcake and raved about them and how much they really liked the cookie in the middle of it. A family friend said that it was just perfect mix of the two, not too much cookie or cupcake. I gave the last two cupcakes to my co-host with Pop Culture Junkees Podcast and she shared with her brother, they both loved it! YAY!! I love hearing that.
It was a fun baking challenge for the month and I would probably take on baking these yummy goodies again.
I did see someone advise to not push the chocolate chip cookie dough ball down into the cupcake, instead just letting it rest on the top of the cupcake batter and let it settle on it's own. Trust me, they are speaking the truth. I did push one down, just because I wasn't sure if it was too much batter for the cookie dough. That cupcake caved in slightly. My mom and I joked about it, she finally took one for the team and ate it herself. Go, Mom, Go!!
Let us know if you make these cupcakes and how they turned out for you. We love feedback from our followers if they are trying out the recipes that we are doing ourselves.
Til next month, Happy Baking!!
Yours came out so pretty. I agree....this recipe is a keeper.
