Chocolate cookie dough cupcakes with peanut butter frosting

1 Betty Crocker Devils Food cake mix
1 small pkg. instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs
1 cube butter
1 1/4 cup milk

1 pkg. Nestlé MINI chocolate chip cookie dough, frozen (I make my own chocolate chip cookie dough, roll into balls and freeze too)

Freeze cookie dough before starting this!!

Preheat oven to 350. Mix cake mix, pudding, eggs, butter and milk until well blended. Spoon about 1 TBS batter into each cupcake liner. Add frozen cookie dough in center. Cover with additional batter about 1 TBS, making the liner 2/3 full. Place in oven then turn oven down to 325 and bake 20-22 minutes. You know they are done when you press the top and it springs back.

Peanut Butter Frosting
2 cubes butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup peanut butter with 1/2 tsp sea salt

Cream butter and cream cheese together. Add vanilla and mix on high for 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Then add peanut butter. **I do sometimes need to add more powdered sugar**.
