Add sugar slowly and continue beating on medium-high speed until creamed together. Reduce speed. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides.

Add vanilla (mixture will appear separated). Add dry ingredients to wet, alternating with the milk until smooth.

Fill cupcake liners halfway full. Set aside.

Roll enough cookie dough into quarter-sized balls to place into the half-filled cupcake liners.

Top cookie dough balls with more cupcake batter and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

Use remaining cookie dough to bake a small batch of cookies for 15 minutes. Once cupcakes and cookies are done, allow to cool.

Pipe each cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Sprinkle crumbled chocolate chip cookie on top. Serve.
