Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

My favorite cookie is, of course, the chocolate chip cookie! I love chocolate chip cookie dough, too, so running across this recipe on Pinterest caught my eye. This was my second batch of cupcakes for my husband's shop and they turned out perfectly. The key to keeping the cookie dough dough-ey is freezing the balls for at least 2 hours before baking. By freezing it you're ensuring that the dough doesn't bake quickly and turn into a cookie.
When you bite into this cupcake, you want to get the cakey yumminess of the cupcake with the dough-ey goodness of the cookie dough. It's definitely a guilty pleasure cupcake and that's just all right with me! The cupcake batter made about 24 cupcakes but I had plenty of cookie dough leftover, so what did I do? Yep, baked it as a cookie for the garnish. And by the way, this cookie dough recipe is AMAZING! I love it better than the Nestle Tollhouse recipe.
