Chocolate-mocha cupcakes with cookie butter frosting

 I tried cookie butter for the first time about a year ago and it's AMAZING! I decided to combine these two flavors together and make this delicious cupcake. I went to Trader Joe's after my final on Friday excited to get back into the kitchen and bake something, but when I got there I couldn't find the cookie butter :( I'm not very familiar with Trader Joe's, so after walking through every aisle I decided to ask someone. She ended up telling me that the warehouse ran out of them and none of the Trader Joe's have them anymore...that was a lie. I went to the one by my house today and found it, so here are the cupcakes :D 


For the cupcakes, you can use pretty much any recipe. Chocolate or vanilla. I used my chocolate mocha recipe because it was the most moist and goes well with this frosting.
Cookie Butter Frosting: 
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup cookie butter 
2-3 cups powdered sugar 
1 tsp vanilla extract 
1 tbs milk 

Directions: Cream butter and cookie butter until smooth. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Add more powdered sugar and milk till you get your desired consistency.
