    Milk and Cookies Cupcakes are really the best of both worlds. You can literally eat your cake and cookie at the same time! If you are looking for a fun cupcake idea that has something for everyone, then this is the one you want to save!

    MILK AND COOKIES CUPCAKES

    I don’t know about you but there is nothing better than enjoying a delicious cupcake. For me, I think why I really enjoy these is that you can totally customize a cupcake to whatever holiday or event you need them for.

    Let’s say you are hosting a birthday party and you have a little Unicorn fan. I have a Unicorn Cupcake Recipe that would be perfect! Even these are more for Halloween, you can totally make them work for your event. Wanting just a simple Chocolate Cupcake? My recipe for these moist cupcakes will take care of that craving. If you are following the Keto diet, my S’mores Cupcakes need to be on your dessert menu.

    WHAT MAKES A MOIST CUPCAKE?

    The key is simply not over-mixing your batter. Mix it on low-speed until it literally is just combined together.

    WHY ARE MY CUPCAKES FLAT ON TOP?

    Just like with getting the perfect moist cupcake, it’s all about NOT over-mixing your batter.

    WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE MILK AND COOKIES CUPCAKES?

    • Vanilla cake mix – you can also make your own mix from scratch if you prefer.
    • Ingredients listed on back of cake mix if you are using one.
    • Mini chocolate chips – all great recipes need this.
    • Chocolate Chip Cookies – a package of store-bought ones or you can make your own.
    • unsalted sweet cream butter (soft)
