Moist homemade double chocolate cookies and cream cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! A fun dessert for any celebration or just because!
It’s hard to know what to say after an extended break. Busy days prior to school ending led into a busy summer break. When my kids are home, it’s hard to focus on work. And since I make my own hours, I opted to take advantage of it. It’s been truly wonderful to sit back and enjoy summer with my kids, instead of working around them and our activities. For so long I focused on wanting to get the next recipe done. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy every aspect of it… from the creation to the execution and photographing, but I also needed a break and time with my kids.
We’ve done everything and absolutely nothing at all. We’ve gone swimming more days than not… a result of exceptionally beautiful and hot summer weather. We’ve read books upon books and enjoyed every word. We went on a special family vacation (more on that to come). And so much more.
More than half of our summer break has passed and school is on the horizon. I’m hoping to soak up these last few weeks with my kids before they’re back in school again. I’m cherishing these moments, knowing and understanding that they truly are growing too fast and these moments won’t be here forever. There are adventures, crafting, laughs and water balloon fights still to be had before we can call an end to this summer… oh, and at least one classic s’more session. Summer isn’t summer without that!
The second summer birthday in our family has now come and gone, but I couldn’t resist whipping up another super fun cupcake for the occasion. Who doesn’t love Oreos or the copycat versions. Rich chocolate cookies with cream filling. A classic! These cupcakes are a fun twist on that…chocolate and cream.
Moist and rich homemade double chocolate cupcakes with cookie crumb cream cheese frosting, topped off with a whole cookie! These cookies and cream cupcakes are an absolute must make, whether for a celebration or just because. They’re sure to be new favorite!
