  6. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill liners halfway with batter, add 1 tablespoon of edible cookie dough, and top with more batter.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, cool in tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  8. Combine brown sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cool for 10 minutes.
