Cookie Stuffed Cupcakes

(The inside of the cookie stuffed cupcake!)

I found this delectable dessert on Picky Palate. We loved this dessert. I changed up just a few things from the original recipe mainly by filling it with different cookie dough. Seriously, you will want to eat them all up!

Cupcakes:

1 box white cake mix

1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix

4 eggs

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup sour cream

Favorite Cookie Dough (I used a chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough. It was fabulous!)

Frosting:

8 oz. softened cream cheese

1 stick softened butter

3 cups powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil and sour cream into a stand or electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for close to 2 minutes or until well combined. Scoop into 24 paper lined cupcake cups just over 1/2 full. Next, press 1 Tablespoon prepared cookie dough into the center of each cupcake batter. Bake for 18-24 minutes or until toothpick comes out mostly clean from center. Let cool completely.

2. Place cream cheese and butter into mixer, beat until well combined. Slowly add in powdered sugar until good frosting consistency then spread with cream cheese frosting.
