Instructions

Funfetti Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with muffin liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a mixer, beat the butter, oil, and sugar on high for 3 minutes. It will become white in color and very light. Add in vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape the bowl.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time. Mix until combined. Add in ⅓ of the dry ingredients and half of the buttermilk. Mix until slightly combined. Add in another ⅓ of the dry ingredients and the rest of the buttermilk. Mix. Add the rest of the dry ingredients. Take off the mixer.
  • Add in the sprinkles and fold in gently using a rubber spatula. Use a cookie scoop to fill the muffin tin about ⅔rds full.
  • Bake for 20-23 minutes. They are done baking when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cupcakes sit in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.

Edible Cookie Dough

  • Make this while the cupcakes are in the oven. In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Using a mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in vanilla and milk. Mix until combined. Scrape the bowl. Add in the dry ingredients. Mix. Add in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Use a cupcake corer or a sharp knife to cut a hole in the middle of the cupcake that goes half way down. Toss the tops of the cupcakes. Fill and compact the cupcakes with the cookie dough. Tip: do a little cookie dough at a time. Set aside.

Cream Cheese Cookie Dough Frosting

  • Set the butter on the counter for 30 minutes to get slightly cold. Sift the powdered sugar while you wait.
  • Using a mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese on high for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. No butter chunks should remain. Slowly add in the powdered sugar. Then, add in the vanilla and heavy cream, Mix until combined
  • Add in the remaining cookie dough. Save some of the cookie dough to top the cupcakes. Grab the cookie dough and place small handfuls into the bowl. Mix until combined.
  • Pipe the frosting on top of the cupcakes. Top with extra cookie dough. Use a large piping tip to avoid the mini chocolate chips getting stuck.

Notes

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the cupcakes.
Anything that says room temperature pull out 2 hours before baking.
