Cone Method
I learned about the cone method from the truely inspirational blog Cupcake Bakeshop. It’s a great way to put any filling into your cupcake.
If you’ve got someone willing to help, I’ve found that the process goes much faster with a partner. I’ve convinced hubby to help out a couple times. I cut and he fills.
Step 1: After cupcakes have completely cooled, use a sharp knife to cut out a cone.
Step 2: Scoop small amount of filling into cupcake.
Step 3: Replace top onto cupcake. I usually break off the cone part of the top so that it lies flat on the cupcake.
Step 4: Frost cupcake as usual and enjoy the look on everyone’s face when they get a surprise when they bite into your cupcakes!

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first
comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and
say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any points for beginner blog writers?
I’d really appreciate it.
They sound awesome! Everything I like–hubby has good taste! You might want to edit–it says chocolate chips and I assume you mean butterscotch chips. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the heads up. I have fixed the typo.
I must admit that in reading this post I turned to my fiance and asked him what his favorite kind of cookie was (we’ve been together 5 1/2 years). His response: peanut butter chocolate chip. You learn something new every day 🙂
I too love butterscotch (and coconut and toffee for that matter!) but it is such an overlooked flavor!

Isn’t that funny?!? Crazy how you can be with someone so long and still be surprised by them!
In the recipe you, you say to add chocolate chips(?) and there is no reference to when you add the toffee or the coconut…

They go in with the butterscotch chips. I have updated the recipe to reflect this. Sorry about the typo.
Thank you for the nice recipe.
kind of amazing/awesome that there’s still more to discover about him after all these years! 🙂
Wow, what a combination! These cookies sound heavenly 🙂
Yes yes yes! Butterscotch and coconut together! It works it does.
