If you have never heard the term “brookie”, let me explain. Anything that is described as brookie is a combination of brownie and cookie. I have taken super chocolatey brownie batter and classic chocolate chip cookie dough and combined them to make a “cupcake”. I then created a decadent chocolate chip cookie dough frosting and put a hefty scoop of it on top of each cupcake. These brookie cupcakes with cookie dough frosting may just be my family’s new favorite dessert!
I have really been wanting to make a made-from-scratch strawberry cake recipe, but there are so many great recipes out there already. I decided that I would still do a strawberry cake recipe, but I wanted to make it unique in some way. I started considering flavors that go great with strawberry, and I came up with lemon. These strawberry cupcakes have a surprise ingredient (lemon pudding mix) which help to make them moist while also complimenting the flavor in the lemon buttercream icing.
