Cookie Cupcakes - includes recipe

 I wanted to make some cupcakes but wanted to try something slightly different then my go to vanilla cupcakes so I decided to make some that would hopefully taste a bit like cookies.

I pretty much used my basic recipe but replaced the caster sugar with light brown sugar and added chocolate chips. 

I just shoved all of the basic ingredients in a bow and mixed them. I know some recipes say to mix together certain ingredients first but to me it doesn't really make a difference to the outcome with these. I added the vanilla flavouring and chocolate chips after everything else was mixed.

I hate when cookies and cakes only have a few chocolate chips so I made sure I put in plenty.  The recipe makes a small batch of cupcakes. I use the larger cupcake cases and it makes 6 if you were to use the smaller fairy cake cases it would obviously make more.

After they had cooked they had that cookie look to them which was what I was going for. 

Once cooled I decorated them really simply by adding a swirl of chocolate frosting and a mini Maryland cookie on top. A very simple recipe and design but very yummy to. I was very happy with how they turned out and how they tasted.
