This baked good is the perfect combo when you’re feeling indecisive and have a massive sweet tooth. Why would anyone eat just one dessert when you can have three at once in a single bite? These cupcake have the fudgy density of a brownie mingled with the light fluffiness of your run of the mill chocolate cupcake for a next level creation verging on perfection.

    Mix up a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough by combining 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips.

    Roll the dough into 12 small balls, put them on a plate, and stick them in the freezer while you prepare the cupcakes.

    I adjusted the recipe to a smaller portion but there will probably still be extra dough. It’s eggless so feel free to indulge.

  3. Preheat the oven to 325ºF and prepare your muffin tin with baking cups.
