Ingredients

For chocolate cupcakes:

  • 1 box chocolate fudge or devil's food cake mix
  • 3.4 oz. box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup whole or 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup Biscoff spread or similar cookie butter spread

For cookie butter frosting:

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups Biscoff spread or similar cookie butter spread
  • 4 - 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 12 Biscoff cookies, broken in half optional garnish
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips optional garnish

Instructions

For chocolate cupcakes:

  • In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, milk, and oil.
  • Line 24 regular-sized muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Fill muffin cups halfway with batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until tops appear set, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Using a teaspoon or small spoon (a grapefruit spoon works best!), hollow out a 1-inch ball in the center of each cupcake. Set aside cake crumbs for another use (cake balls, maybe?).
  • Spoon a rounded teaspoonful of cookie butter into the center of each cupcake. The easiest way to do this is with a small cookie scoop!

For cookie butter frosting:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and cookie butter until smooth.
  • Add 4 cups powdered sugar, beating until combined.
  • Add heavy cream, beating until combined.
  • Add additional powdered sugar, if needed, to achieve a thick, but fluffy frosting. It should be pipable.
  • Pipe or spread onto cupcakes. I use a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, Wilton 1M!
  • If desired, garnish by sticking 1/2 a Biscoff cookie into the frosting of each cupcake, and top with a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips.
