1 Tbsp Milk
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Salt
3 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar

For Cookie Dough:
Beat together butter, sugars, milk, vanilla, and salt until creamy. Add in flour and beat until well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll into tablespoon full balls, place in a plastic container, and freeze until completely solid. DO NOT skip freezing the cookie dough, or the cookie dough will be dispersed within the cupcake and not have the "stuffed" effect. Once the cookie dough is frozen, prepare the cupcake batter.
                                       
For the Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350. Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners. In a stand mixer, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt using the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, drop in the butter, a few cubes at a time. When all of the butter is incorporated, the mixture should resemble coarse sand. Add the eggs one at a time. Pour in milk and vanilla and increase the speed until the batter is smooth. scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Fill cupcake liners and bake 20-23 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool before beginning on the frosting.
         
For Brown Sugar Frosting:
Beat together all the ingredients, minus the powdered sugar, until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar on low speed. Add additional milk, if needed. Pipe onto cupcakes and enjoy!
