Mini M&M Cookie Cupcakes

Mini M&M Cookie Cupcakes 

THESE ARE SO PRETTY!

I started with the basic chocolate chip cookie recipe from Nestle Toll-House
The recipe makes 48 mini cupcakes

I set the temperature for my oven to 350 degrees 

and baked them in a mini cupcake pan for 10 minutes
Be sure to generously spray the pans with a non-stick spray

The only changes I made to the recipe were adding 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon 

and I used 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of Mini M&M'S

For the Buttercream frosting:

2 sticks of butter (softened)

2-3 Tbsp. of Milk

4 Cups of Powdered Sugar

1 Tsp. of Vanilla

1/4 Tsp. of Salt (which I did not use because I used salted butter)

Cream together butter

Slowly add in other ingredients

use milk to keep your frosting smooth

Pipe frosting on cupcakes and top with additional Mini M&M's

THE COLORFUL DOUGH (in my new Kitchen Aid Mixer)

I used a cookie scoop to put even amounts of dough into the sprayed cupcake pans

When these are done it is common for the center to sink! Never fear the icing will cover this up!

Let them completely cool before pipping the frosting onto the cupcakes

Decorate with more Mini M&M's

 

The PERFECT Mini M&M Cookie Cupcake
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
