Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting

For one of our weekly specials at The Cupcakery, we offered Cookie Dough Frosting for vanilla or chocolate cupcakes. People loved them and they were a lot of fun to make!

I got the recipe from Eva Bakes, though mixing any eggless cookie dough batter into regular vanilla buttercream should work! I cut the cookie dough recipe in half since I was not stuffing my cupcakes with cookie dough as she does.

Cookie Dough Frosting

1/4 cup butter (softened)
1/8 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

3/4 cup butter (softened)
2 cups powdered sugar


Beat the butter and sugars at medium speed until fluffy. Slowly pour in the cream and vanilla and continue to mix. Stir in the flour and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time until smooth. Beat in the cookie dough.

While she put the chocolate chips on top, I decided to put them in the frosting so that there would be no "boring" parts of the frosting while one was eating them. Though this made it a bit harder to pipe, I think they still turned out looking pretty good!

Enjoy :)
