Ingredients

  • <<<<<<<<For the Cupcakes>>>>>>>>>>
  • I box yellow cake mix
  • 1-1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • <<<<<<<<<<For the Cookie Dough Filling>>>>>>>>>>
  • 4 tbsp. butter softened
  • 6 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 7 oz. fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • <<<<<<<<<<For the Frosting:>>>>>>>>>>
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1-3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • To make the cupcakes, prepare as directed on the cake mix box. I substituted 1/2 cup of applesauce for the oil. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake as directed on the box mix...until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
  • To make the cookie dough filling, combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and cream together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Slowly beat in the flour, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla and combined until dough-like.
  • Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand. Cover and refrigerate until the mixture is firm, about an hour.
  • To fill the cupcakes, scoop out a small section from the center of each cupcake.
  • I used a TBSP measuring spoon that seem to take out just the right amount.
  • Fill each hole with a chunk of the chilled cookie dough mixture.
  • To make the frosting, cream together butter and sugar. Add vanilla and 2-3 tbsp. milk. Beat until frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Use leftover cookie dough to make mini cookie dough balls for decoration. You will have a ton of leftovers for that. Frost the filled cupcakes, and decorate with mini chocolate chips and mini cookie dough balls. YUM!
