The other day I really wanted something sweet to eat so I looked around the kitchen for something good and found a box of vanilla cake mix.
So I decided to make some chocolate cupcakes by adding two tablespoons of cocoa powder.
While I waited for those to bake, I found an awesome recipe for cookie dough batter icing. I originally wanted to bake a half baked cookie into the cupcake, but I was feeling lazy and just made frosting.
This recipe will frost 12 cupcakes, with a little left over to like the bowl and have a spoonful.
Cookie Dough Frosting
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup + 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar (or dark brown)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons milk (I used vanilla almond milk, but soy or regular would be fine)
1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
With an electric or stand mixer using a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar at medium speed. Add the vanilla and beat well. Stir in the flour and salt until doughy. Beat in the milk until fluffy. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Frost cooled cookie cups.
