Chocolate Chip Cookie...Cupcakes!

I made these cupcakes last week.
I saw the recipe a while back at Kevin and Amanda and knew I wanted to try them!


The recipe is pretty easy.

Most of my cupcakes turned out pretty good:


But a few turned out like this:
I'm not an accomplished enough baker to know why. Altitude perhaps?
No worries, I had plenty that did turn out!
And...just like my last cupcake experiment~ I had lots of cake batter left over. Really...lots! 

 (I have a few pictures that look like a freaky alien face~ I left those out!)

I found a few of these...frosting caps?
My family obviously does not like frosting.
Poor topless cupcakes!


The cupcakes tasted really good. Be warned~ they are pretty rich!
I made them for an object lesson for our Family Home Evening last week.
(Feasting on the Scriptures/Hidden Treasures)

Here's what we liked even better than the cupcakes...
The leftover cookie dough! The recipe contains no eggs, so it is safe to eat.
I kept some in the fridge and I froze some. I really liked the frozen ones!


 I have another recipe for "raw" cookie dough that I am going to try this week.
I'll let you know how they turn out & which recipe we like best.

(P.S. Two basketball games down with no embarrassing incidents! Things are looking up!)

  4. My daughter and I and the grandgirls made cupcakes just tonight!!
    Not quite as lovely as yours however, as we let them do the frosting and decorating.

    I giggled at your story below about "are you pregnant"....so funny.
    I wonder if the PlayBoy Bunnies ever get asked that (tee,hee), big boobs and all

  5. Topless cupcakes? Well, I guess that saves on the calories.
    Looks like a good recipe. I love some good refreshments for FHE!

    So are you saying, that little girl is no longer at the basketball games?

    I kinda wanted to lick the screen.

  7. See, now I'm at home, it's late, I'm hungry, could totally go for something sugary, and I just spent five minutes oggling the pictures of your cupcakes. I think this is wrong on some level. :)
