Mini Chocolate Chips for decoration

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pan with cupcake liners.
  2. 2. Sift cake mix into a small bowl and set aside.
  3. 3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, melted butter, milk, sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. 4. Stir in cake mix and chocolate chips.
  5. 5. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
  6. 6. Let cool.
  7. 7. Cookie Dough Frosting: Beat butter. Add vanilla extract, flour, brown sugar and salt and beat again. Slowly add in milk and powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Taste as you go! You want it to taste like a cross between cookie dough and frosting, so the flour and other ingredients make it like cookie dough while the powdered sugar helps keep it a frosting. Feel free to play around with the ratios!
