Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes: Step-by-Step!

Voila: Chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes!

When brainstorming a new cupcake, there are different elements to consider. Size, cake, and frosting. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to the most delicious mini chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes to pass your lips!

1st: Size. Almost always the best choice is mini cupcakes. They feed more people and they are more fun to pop! 

2nd: Cake. When choosing the cake, use your imagination! Mini chocolate chips in a basic yellow cake recipe is a delicious way to change the ol' classic. And the best part about it is that the chocolate chips remain somewhat in tact after baking, making it a complete mix of chocolate chip cookie and cupcake. 

3rd: Frosting. A no-brainer. Team Lola Pearl is so in love with cream cheese frosting that we dream of it dripped in ganache. However, to make it truly chocolate chip cookie dough frosting, there is one key ingredient that must be added: brown sugar.  Depending on your frosting, start with one tablespoon and flavor to taste!

Sprinkling the mini chocolate chips on top of the frosting and finishing with a mini cookie is the only way to finish this delicious concoction!
