Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Well, I know everyone else is probably gearing up for healthy eating mode, but I'm still stuck in baking mode. For now anyway. We have one last holiday celebration this afternoon, so next week I'll be joining the masses with salads and gym memberships (I'm waiting until next week because I'm making some of our favorite family recipes, and I'm hoping for leftovers to snack on... Don't want to fail right off the bat!).

Anyway, let's start the year on a classic, sweet note with these scrumptious Chocolate Chip Cupcakes.  Everything about them screams sweet comfort food goodness, like a chocolate chip cookie morphed into a cupcake and topped with a dollop of sweet buttercream.

You can go pretty much any route with the frosting on these chocolate chip cupcakes. Chocolate, vanilla, cream cheese, or even store bought.  I also have a marshmallow frosting recipe that's totally amazing on these cupcakes.  I usually opt for a classic and simple vanilla buttercream (check out my vanilla buttercream recipe HERE) because you just can't go wrong with American buttercream, in my humble opinion.

Enjoy these for a party, a birthday, or just because! Happy New Year!
