These cupcakes taste very similar to fluffy chocolate chip cookies and were the signature dish of my husband's Aunt Lois when I first married into the family. His mother began making them also and they are her most-requested dish. Even when making traditional desserts for holidays, she adds these cupcakes. She even gives them as gifts.—Sue Smith, Joaquin, Texas

I followed the recipe to a T. It turned out just like the picture and they taste fabulous! Just like a delicious choc chip cookie! I can't wait to take them to my friends house to share! I think where people go wrong is two things, don't over cream the butter and don't use a cold egg out of the fridge. Let it set out a bit. I will make them again soon!

As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew I had to have these cupcakes. Sadly, they were a disastrous disappointment. To me, they seemed too buttery for them to stay together. I doubled checked to see that I had followed the recipe correctly, and I had. The only differences were that I doubled the batch and I didn't use nuts. Great idea, but just didn't work out for me.

This recipe sounds and looks fabulous. The reviews sound like some had disastrous results. Any hints before I try making them? Thanks so much.

This is a truly delicous cookie. If you follow the recipe, you should have no problems, worked great, both times I've made these.You need to bake the batter first, then add the filling.

I won't make these again. They were a disaster. The cupcake portion was to the top of the paper and I hadn't even added the filling yet. I added the filling on top and had nothing but a mess when the timer went off. The filling spread across the top of the pan and did not stay in the cups. Mine look nothing like the picture. I won't waste my time on this one again.

I tried this recipe twice. For me the first time was a disaster as I could not get the egg in the filling to cook without burning the "cookie". Not willing to give up I tried again this time omitting the egg and the nuts in the filling. For the filling I mixed a Tbs of melted butter with 1/2 cup of brown sugar then added 3/4 cup of butterscotch chips and 3/4 cup of mini semi sweet morsels and mixed well. After changing the filling I followed the recipe as written. With this filling the cupcake tasted like a chocolate chip cookie on the outside with a blondie bite inside. They were good like a big cookie with the chips in the middle.  See them pictured on my page
