Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe

For Kayla's Birthday Party she wanted cupcakes so I searched the internet to find something that sounded tasty and was different than the everyday flavors like chocolate or vanilla.

When I came across Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes I was sold.

It does take a little more time in the kitchen to make since you have to make the cookie dough filling but trust me it is worth it because they were delicious.
