{So does his mother...it's hereditary.}
I knew exactly what to make him for his birthday cake, Cheryl's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes.
Let me break these bad boys down for you....
First, there is a chocolate chip cookie cupcake. Then, they are filled with chocolate chip cookie dough filling. And finally, they are topped with a brown sugar cookie dough frosting.
{Yeah, you don't WANT to know the WW points on these puppies.}
For the cupcakes and the filling, I'm going to link you to Cheryl's printable recipe. The only change I made on those was to add just a *pinch* of salt to the filling. You could totally skip that if you wanted.
I changed up the frosting just a bit, so here is that recipe...
Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Frosting
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temp.
3/4 c. light brown sugar, packed
1 lb. box powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
3 TBSP milk
2 and &1/2 tsp vanilla
mini chocolate chips
Cream the butter and brown sugar with the paddle attachment until fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar and beat on low until incorporated, then increase the speed and beat until smooth and combined. Add the salt, milk and vanilla; blend until smooth.
Frost the cupcakes. (I used a Bakery Crafts 9CS tip.) Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
Now, it's time for the candles.
And I have NO IDEA how this happened, but the reflection of the flames made ♥'s in the picture. Is that cool, or what?!?!?
