Since my boyfriend, for some unknown reason, does not like regular-sized cupcakes, he asked for mini ones.
Cupcakes
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
a little less than 1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla [but more like 1 tsp. if you're like me and "accidentally" added more]
1/3 cup milk
pinch of salt
Recipe from
Not Eating Out in New York's cookie-dough topped cupcakes.
Vanilla Frosting

Martha Stewart I have an extreme love for that frosting.
