Cookie Cupcakes

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.
