These Cookie Dough Cupcakes are dangerous! I gave some to a friend and she texted me that they were the BEST cupcake she'd ever eaten! WOOHOO! Not only are these cupcakes crazy good, they are super simple to make. I used a box of cake mix and some refrigerated cookie dough for the cupcakes. I topped the cupcakes with my famous homemade buttercream. Divine!!!
I love the simplicity of these cupcakes. They are great for a party, classroom or work group. They don't need to be refrigerated, but you can if you prefer. If you do refrigerate them, I suggest taking them out a few hours before you serve them so the frosting isn't hard.
