Cookie Dough Frosting

This frosting is thick, creamy, and perfect for dolloping on cupcakes. It tastes just like a giant scoop of cookie dough. Be sure to the let the frosting chill for a bit after decorating your cupcakes so that it can firm up to have more of a cookie dough texture too!

Ingredients

1 cup butter room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
12 cupcakes any flavor you prefer

Instructions

Add the butter and cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to the bowl and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
Stir the mini chocolate chips into the frosting by hand.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough across the cupcakes for generously frosting cupcakes. For less frosting, use a medium cookie scoop or just spread the frosting over the cupcakes with a butter knife.
Place the cupcakes in the fridge for 1-2 hours to allow the frosting to firm up. This will give the frosting a thicker cookie dough texture.

Notes

We like to add mini chocolate chip cookies on top of the frosting just before serving. The cookies will get soft in the fridge if you add them before chilling the frosting.
