Mint Chip Milkshake Cupcakes are a delicious treat that taste like a classic milkshake but with the added sweetness of chocolate chips and the coolness of mint. Great for parties or any time you want something sweet and minty.

Ingredients: 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup whole milk. 1/2 cup mint chocolate chips. 1/4 cup cocoa powder. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/2 teaspoon mint extract. Green food coloring optional. Whipped cream and additional mint chocolate chips for garnish.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with paper liners. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Mix in half of the dry ingredients mixture, followed by the whole milk. Mix until just combined. In a separate bowl, toss the mint chocolate chips with cocoa powder to coat them. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cupcakes. Fold the coated chocolate chips into the cupcake batter. Scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the mint chip milkshake frosting, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, mint extract, and green food coloring if desired in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until the frosting is smooth and reaches your desired consistency. Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Garnish with whipped cream and additional mint chocolate chips. Serve and enjoy your Mint Chip Milkshake Cupcakes!
