Ingredients
FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- Vitacost sugar cookie mix or use this sugar cookie recipe
- Vitacost devil's food chocolate mix or use this chocolate cake recipe
FOR THE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
- 3 to 3.5 cups powdered sugar
- 12 tbsp butter, softened
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Makes about 24 cupcakes.
- Prepare sugar cookie dough according to box directions or sugar cookie recipe.
- Place the bowl of cookie dough in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Chilling the dough will prevent the cookies from spreading.
- Prepare chocolate cake batter according to box direction or chocolate cake recipe.
- Roll cookie dough into balls.
- Fill the cupcake liners halfway with chocolate cake batter. Place a cookie dough ball on top of batter. Top off the cupcake liner with a bit more batter so each cupcake liner is about ¾ full.
- Bake for about 20 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool and then transfer to a wire rack.
- While the cupcakes are baking, make the buttercream frosting. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix together with a spatula and then use an egg beater or mixer machine if you have one. This makes the frosting smoother and creamy. Start with 3 cups of powdered sugar and if you need more, then add another ½ cup. If you want more frosting, you can double the amounts for the frosting recipe.
- Frost the sugar cookie stuffed cupcakes with the buttercream frosting.
