Dark Chocolate Cookie Dough Cupcakes
Report
Salty, sweet, creamy and altogether sinful. These cupcakes are just about the best baked thing I have ever eaten.

Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar , packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons brewed coffee
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder (regular cocoa powder will work too, it just won't be as dark)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- sea salt (optional, for sprinkling on top)
- Chocolate Chip Cookie dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. I know 5 minutes sounds a bit nuts, but trust me. Don't stop at 3 and say "oh hey, that looks fluffy enough!"
- Mix the eggs and vanilla in a measuring cup.
- Add it to the mixture in thirds. This cuts down the amount of time your mixer is on since the motor is probably not happy with you at this moment.
- Separately, combine the buttermilk, sour cream, and coffee.
- Lastly, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- On low alternate adding wet and dry ingredients in thirds to the mixer bowl, starting with the wet.
- Do this as quickly as possible because even we took time in the beginning with the butter, taking time with flour is BAD! Leads to heavy cupcakes.
- Using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, diving the batter into the cupcake liners.
- Press in a chunk of your frozen cookie dough. FROZEN solid. if it is not you will not love the outcome.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
Notes
- Experimented with this recipe four times for the cupcake and came up with the one you find here. An adapted version of the original :)
- recipe
- NOTE: MAKE SURE ALL INGREDIENTS ARE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. EXCEPT THE COOKIE DOUGH, WHICH SHOULD BE FROZEN SOLID.
