Ingredients

Homemade Chocolate Cupcakes

1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup all-purpose Gold Medal Flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup canola oil

Cookie Dough Frosting

1 stick unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose Gold Medal Flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1/2 cup milk chocolate toffee chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line 16 cupcake cups with foil liners.
Microwave milk in a medium bowl until hot. Pour in chocolate chips and let sit for a couple of minutes. Stir until melted and smooth.
Place flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, sour cream, and oil into a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Pour in melted chocolate, mixing until well combined.
Fill lined muffin cups 3/4 full with batter and bake for 20-25 minutes, until baked through. Be careful to not take them out early, or the cupcakes will sink in the middle. Let cool completely.

Cookie Dough Frosting

To prepare frosting, place butter into a stand mixer and beat until smooth.
Add peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla beating until combined. Add flour, salt, heavy cream, and toffee chips, mixing until desired consistency. If the dough is too dry, add additional cream.
Place dollops of cookie dough frosting on top of cooled cupcakes using a large cookie scoop or large ice cream scoop. Drizzle with warm chocolate ganache if desired.
