There's a new treat at the Birthday party.

Speaking of flavor combinations, how about cupcakes and cookies?
Generally we think of them as two separate celebratory foods (or if you're Noah (or me), you at least pretend to feel that way), and thus never a combo act. Today, however, I present them to you as exactly that: a package deal.

Cookie dough cupcakes.


No longer must we feel confined to the pesky cultural quota of one at a time.
No longer will we feel like fatties fatties no friends when we give in to the urge to take both a chocolatey cupcake and a chewy cookie.
No longer, because now we can disguise two as one. It's like Pert Plus 2 in 1 (shampoo and conditioner), but delicious, and underbaked!

Picture an uber-moist chocolate cupcake (facilitated by the pudding packet added to the dry ingredients)
filled
with
cookie dough.

The trick is to fill the pan with batter, and drop into each cupcake one frozen ball of cookie dough, then bake. It must be frozen; if not, the cookie dough will no longer be dough when the cupcakes are finished baking, and all magic will be lost. Baked away.


In fact, thinking about this, they yield great opportunity in the kitchen. I noted chocolate chip cookie dough, but why not use sugar cookie dough? Why not try it with my favorite chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough in a yellow cake cupcake? OH!

Noah creates classy and tasteful flavor combinations, but let's not forget the delectability of sweet-on-sweet action.
