1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Frosting:

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
Make the Cupcake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Bake the Cupcakes: Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
Prepare the Cookie Dough Filling: In a bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, flour, and salt, mixing until combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Form small balls of cookie dough and chill in the refrigerator.
Make the Frosting: Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are cool, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake. Place a ball of cookie dough in the center, then pipe frosting on top to cover.
