Well these cupcakes were made for two people I work with. They have birthdays two days apart so a cake they will both enjoy is always the best option.
One of my co-workers has a bag of mini Maryland cookies in her draw just in case which is what inspired these cupcakes.
I still think biscuits and cupcakes go hand in hand. It’s like the best combination in my opinion at least. The cupcakes are a chocolate sponge with a big old handful of dark and white chocolate chips.
Both of my colleagues enjoyed these cupcakes and there families enjoyed them as well.

Buttercream
- To make the butter icing, beat the butter until its light and fluffy. Then add in the vanilla and the icing sugar a little bit at a time until its fully incorporated.
- Using piping bag with a star nozzle, pipe the buttercream on to the top of each cupcake until they are all covered. Then take a mini cookie and one to the top of each cupcake.
