Cookie Dough Cupcakes

A couple of weeks ago I made this epic Confetti Cookie Dough Cake. I absolutely love cookie dough and so obviously I couldn't stop thinking about this cake. I wanted it ALL the time.

But instead of making this cake again, I decided to turn it into cupcakes. They are easier to share with people so I wasn't stuck eating the whole cake by myself!
