Cookie dough Cupcakes

It's been a while since I last blogged, so here are some cookie dough cupcakes,
For these I made a simple cookie dough recipe the ingredients are:
For the plain dough
225g (8oz) soft butter or margarine
140g (5oz) caster sugar
280g (10oz) plain flour
1 egg yolk
pinch of salt
2tsp vanilla extract,
I added just under a packet of chocolate chips (leaving just enough for decoration )
The dough is really easy to make beat the sugar and butter until pale, add the egg yolk followed by the flour, then add the vanilla and then finally the choc chips, turn out and place in the fridge!

For the sponge I used a basic chocolate cupcake recipe from The Hummingbird bakery it makes 12

Fill the cases 1/3 full with the cupcake batter ,for each case roll a ball of cookie dough (a little bit smaller then a ping pong ball)place in the middle of each case
Cook at 180•c for about 18 mins

For the icing I used
250g icing sugar
80g butter
2tbs of milk
Beat the icing sugar and butter together until a sand like consistence add a the milk and a few drops of vanilla beat again until fully mixed!

This icing recipe is really simple there are more indulgent cookie dough frostings out there

I iced the cakes once cooled, I decorated them with half a cookie and the rest of the chips!

Enjoy!
