Half Baked Cupcake

Prep Time: 2 hrs.
Cook Time: 16-18 min.
Servings:  24

Ingredients: 
  • Your favorite cake mix (chocolate or yellow cake) or  your favorite cupcake recipe. 
  • Your favorite cookie dough recipe (recommend using mini chocolate chips) or frozen cookie dough squares you buy at the store.

Preparation: 
Prepare Cookie Dough. Form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls; place onto a baking sheet, and freeze until SOLID, about 2 hours.   DO NOT skip the freezing of the cookie dough step...if you do, the dough WILL bake along w/the cake and be very dry.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners. 

Prepare cake mix. Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each 2/3 full. Place a frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake.

Bake in the preheated oven.  It's  imperative that you do not over bake (or you'll get the same dry baked cookie results); Bake for only about 16-18 min. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH, DO NOT OVER BAKE! It will seem like it's too early to take them out, but it's not. Check the outer ridge of the cupcake (otherwise you're getting the dough on your toothpick which should stay *wet*).   Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. 

Apparently these are amazing, but I haven't actually made them yet...planning on making them soon.  If they are disgusting the recipe will be deleted.  But if you end up trying them before me, please let us know how they are!
