Cookie Dough Frosted Cupcakes

Posted on February 15, 2013 by easybaked

Cookie Dough CupcakesChocolate cupcakes topped with rich chocolate chip cookie dough frosting….my new favorite thing!

I love cookie dough.  When I was a little girl we always got little nibbles of it when mom was baking.  Now, of course, we know that those raw eggs could kill us…but I think that cookie dough might be worth that risk!!  

The best part of this recipe is that the frosting truly tastes like cookie dough (a light creamy cookie dough) and there are NO eggs in it.  So you could just eat it straight out of the bowl and forget the cupcakes….not that I would do that….ever….well…maybe just a little….

I made my cupcakes into minis- simply because I wanted to put a “scoop” of frosting on top and a full-size scoop would be a HUGE amount of frosting…I don’t have a problem with that, but I think most people might ;)

INGREDIENTS:

  • One boxed chocolate cake mix (plus water, oil and eggs to make according to box)

***OR use your favorite cupcake recipe.  This is really all about the frosting– so do your favorite thing with the cupcake recipe/ flavor***

  • 2 sticks (8 oz.) unsalted butter(softened)
  • 2 sticks (8 oz.) salted butter(softened)
  • 2 c. powered sugar
  • 1 c. brown sugar (packed)
  • 3 T. vanilla
  • 1/3c. flour
  • 1 12 oz bag of mini chocolate chips.

DIRECTIONS:

  • Make cake mix (or your favorite cake recipe) and divide into mini cupcake liners in a mini cupcake tin. (makes about 48 mini cupcakes)
  • Bake according to box/recipe (mini cupcakes take less time, so adjust accordingly!)
  • Cool cupcakes completely.
  • Place all frosting ingredients except mini chips into a large mixing bowl and beat with mixer on low until combined and then high until light and fluffy.
  • Add mini chips (keep about 1/4 of a cup aside to sprinkle on top) and beat on low until fully combined.
  • Frost cupcakes.  You can use a knife to just spread it on or use a small or medium Cookie Scoop to make your cupcakes look like mine do.
  • Sprinkle remaining chips on top and gobble these cupcakes up!!!

Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Cups

Posted on February 3, 2013 by easybaked

Brownie Oreo Cookie CupChocolate chip cookie dough topped with an Oreo cookie topped with a chewy brownie… does dessert get better than this?  Plus they are just so cute- and fun to eat!

These little dessert cups are incredibly easy to make.  All you need is refrigerated cookie dough, Oreos and brownie mix (plus the oil water and eggs to make the brownies!)

Dessert Ingredients!They are so easy to put together:

DIRECTIONS:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
  • Put 24 cupcake liners into cupcake tins.
  • Break apart refrigerated cookie dough (the Nestle brand comes already divided into 24 pieces)
  • Press cookie dough into the bottom of each cupcake liner so it covers the bottom of each cup (I thought that as the dough warmed a little bit to room temperature that this was easier).
  • Press an Oreo cookie on top of each bit of cookie dough.

  • Prepare the brownie mix as directed on box and scoop batter evenly into all 24 cups, covering the Oreo completely.


Scoop brownie batter over Oreo.

  • Bake at 350F degrees for 20-30 minutes.  Check often and be sure you don’t over bake the brownie.  They are much better a little chewy!
  • Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature.
  • I served with a little whipped topping and chocolate/ caramel drizzle.

My thoughts: These are a really easy and yummy treat.  They are fun right out of the cupcake wrapper (eaten like a cupcake), or they are fun to dress up as a fancy dessert with pretty drizzles and toppings.  The three layers of different flavor and consistency make this a truly unique dessert!  Enjoy!! ~r

Mini Cookie Dough Cheesecakes

Posted on August 25, 2012 by easybaked


These yummy little cheesecakes have chocolate chips in the crust and adorable little chocolate chip cookies baked right on the top.  A perfect mini party dessert!!

INGREDIENTS: (makes 12 mini cheesecakes)

  • 3/4 c. finely crushed graham crackers
  • 2 1/2 T. melted butter
  • 1/3 c. mini chocolate chips
  • 1 (8oz) bar of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 t. vanilla
  • 1 tube of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (I use Pillsbury)

DIRECTIONS:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Open tube of cookie dough and using a small melon baller or Mini Cookie Scoop make 12 small cookie balls (about an inch in diameter) and set aside. (You will not use much of the dough for this recipe- which means you can make cookies later!!!)
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs with butter and mix well.
  • Add mini chips, and when well combined, evenly divide into a Mini Cheesecake Pan (make sure you place your metal disks in each cup first!)
  • Press crumbs into bottom of each cup using a Mini Tart Shaper
  • Combine softened cream cheese with sugar and add egg and vanilla.  Beat until smooth.
  • Evenly divide batter into each of the 12 mini cheesecake cups.
  • Place pan on a cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and gently place one cookie dough ball on the top of each mini cheesecake.
  • Return pan to the oven for 10-12 minutes- until cookies are baked on the top of each cheesecake and starting to brown.
  • Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Refrigerate overnight, remove from pan and ENJOY!!

My thoughts:  It took me two tries to get the cookie dough to bake on the top all cute and pretty.  Its all in the timing.  My first attempt at this recipe, I put the cookie dough on top before the cheesecake was baked.  The cookie dough sank and pushed the cheesecake batter right over the top of the pans, leaving a huge mess!  Putting the dough on near the end of baking worked perfectly.  Lesson?  When at first you don’t succeed, try again! (also, stock up on cream cheese when it is on sale so it doesn’t cost a fortune to experiment!)  I really hope you love these yummy little treats!  Enjoy!!  -r
