Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
  5. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about halfway full.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the heat-treated flour, vanilla extract, and white chocolate chips, mixing until combined.
  7. Place a spoonful of cookie dough into the center of each cupcake batter, adding just enough to cover it.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Enjoy as is or add melted white chocolate on top for a decadent finish.

Notes

For substitutions, use salted butter in place of unsalted butter without adding extra salt. For a nutty flavor, consider half almond flour. Keep an eye on baking times as they may vary by oven.
