The cookie dough just sunk to the bottom of the cupcake but everyone raved about how good they were! Instead of the ganache, I used almond flavored buttercream icing, both chocolate and regular (and sprinkles, of course!)

The cream is used when you melt the chips down for the icing.

What about the heavy whipping cream, I didn't see in the recipe what to do with it?

Thanks,

Cupcakes were great but the frosting is way too rich for my taste. I'll make the cupcakes again but will use my old stand-by butter icing.
