YUMMY I made these for a dry run for Anna's birthday party and used yellow cake mix and refrigerated brownie dough. I frosted the cuppie cakes with chocolate frosting and were they every good!!!!

These are delicious. A friend of mine gave me a similar recipe, however, she makes the dough balls and then freezes them prior to dropping them into the batter....makes for an ooey gooey cookie surprise in the middle

The kids in my childrens class have gone crazy for these! An extra special surprise and not much more work. Cooks in the same amount of time as a plain cupcake. I make these all the time now! Thank you!

A fun idea. I made them using a simple white cupcake recipe (Recipe #172550) and the Toll House recipe off the back of the chocolate chip bag. They were a little dry and I didn't get as many oooohs and aaaaahs as I expected, but I liked them.

These turned out just okay for me. The cookie dough was absorbed into the cupcake, leaving a hollow center. Not sure what I did wrong.
