Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes

I'm still waiting for my sister to post a recipe to this here blog, but until she does here I am once again posting yet another delicious treat. Obviously I have quite a sweet tooth.

These chocolate cupcakes have a surprise inside.

What's hidden in the middle?

Chocolate chip cookie dough.

And to top it off, cream cheese frosting.

Try to eat just one.

Chocolate Cupcakes:

1 yellow cake mix

2 small packages chocolate pudding (You don't actually make the pudding--just use the powder.)

4 eggs

1 1/2 cup water

1/2 cup oil

2 tsp vanilla

Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the cake batter. Then place a cookie dough ball in the center of each cupcake. Use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, or simply use store-bought.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, depending on your oven.
Once the cupcakes have cooled frost them with cream cheese frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 pkg cream cheese

8 T butter

3 3/4 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

milk to thin to preferred consistency
