Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

By Pamela
As I posted last week in A Christmas Tale, I owed a huge pay back to my current training class. They did, after all, help me obtain the much desired Lalalopsy Silly Hair Doll for The Short Chic for Christmas.

So pay back came today, in the form of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes.


Oh, they were good. And they came with a little surprise tucked inside all that yummy yellow cake.


A nugget of chocolate chip cookie dough! Who would not love that?

So, let me tell you all how I made these, so you too can enjoy the cupcakes.

I started off with a simple yellow box mix.
To that mix add:

4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 package dry vanilla pudding mix

Mix that well. Next, I used pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough. I actually planned ahead and froze that cookie dough.

I put the cupcake liners into my pan, added the batter, filling the liners about 3/4 full. Next, I cut the cookie dough into little squares and sat a square on top of the dough. Just like the photo below.

                                    

Then I baked them at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes.

After they cooled I made up some Brown Sugar Buttercream Frosting and decorated.

To make the Frosting:

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 sticks of butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.  Beat in the powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in the salt, milk, and vanilla extract until combined and smooth.

Frost the cupcakes and top with miniature chocolate chips.

This recipe originally came from Chef In Training. It was the very first thing I ever pinned on Pinterest. God bless them for making everything from scratch. As you can see, I found a much easier way of making it that works for me and my busy life!

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

By Pamela
I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

By Pamela
Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget.  Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world.                                                In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things.  What is it? Well, it is a German food that is...

Tonsillectomy (Warning Photos!)

By Pamela
The Short Chic came down with a pretty nasty case of strep throat back in April. So, when The Boy started complaining about his throat hurting about 12 days later, I was pretty confident that he had inherited his sister's strep. Instead, The Boy was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess growing on his right tonsil.  We had to immediately see an ENT  Physician who took a needle and drained the abscess. He removed about 5.5 cc of puss from The Boys throat.and then told us that once you have a peritonsillar abscess you were high risk to keep getting them. The Boy's tonsils were now compromised and needed to be removed.  We were told to plan for a two week recovery so we worked a surgery into our summer plans. Between family vacations, summer sports, and the beginning of school The Boy had his second surgery. A tonsillectomy.  Pre-surgery prepping went well. It must be nice to be young and have healthy veins for an IV! The Boy had lots of pre-surgery vi...
