Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
Make the cupcake batter by creaming together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients by whisking together flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Prepare the edible cookie dough frosting by beating softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a mixing bowl.
Add heat-treated flour, and mix until smooth. Then stir in vanilla extract and milk until creamy. Fold in chocolate chips.
Frost the completely cooled cupcakes generously with the edible cookie dough frosting.
Serve and enjoy fresh!

Notes

Using room temperature ingredients helps achieve a better texture. Remember to heat-treat the flour for safety.
