Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Everybody loves chocolate chip cookie dough. Seriously, though- how many people do you know who, when asked, would say, "oh, no thanks, I really hate cookie dough"? Exactly: none. So when I decided to bake some cupcakes for a party we had last night, I decided I couldn't go wrong with chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes.
They're chocolate chip cupcakes, with the middles cut out & replaced with cookie dough, all topped with cookie dough flavored icing and miniature chocolate chips. They're ridiculously indulgent and bad for you, so I probably won't make them very often, but man, are they delicious.
Everyone who had a cupcake spent the next five minutes gushing over their cupcake as they ate it. They were so well-loved that I didn't even bother admitting that I had screwed up the recipe! I had misread the recipe and put way too little milk into the cupcake batter (3 tablespoons instead of one cup- yikes!), so they turned out less moist than they should have, but I think everyone was too distracted by the delicious cookie dough flavors to pay attention to how moist the cake was :)
Also, I didn't have any condensed milk, so I used this cookie dough recipe for the cupcake filling, and it turned out deliciously! Plus, it has super-healthy Greek yogurt in it, so I can almost justify eating it by the spoonful... almost.
