- For the cupcake batter, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cream softened butter until smooth; add sugar and beat until fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time with vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients with sour cream and milk until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner halfway with batter, then add a scoop of chilled cookie dough to the center.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
- For cookie dough frosting, beat together softened butter and brown sugar; gradually add flour, salt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
