Cooking time: 25 minutes Preparation time: 15 minutes Total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in alternating batches with sour cream and milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.

Step 6: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9: Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and Enjoy!
