This creamy and sweet cookie dough frosting is packed with authentic flavor and specks of chocolate chips, making it the perfect topping for cupcakes or a dessert in itself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely before using. Alternatively, microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-45 seconds, stirring halfway through. Set aside.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup (226g) of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup (100g) of brown sugar, and ¼ cup (50g) of granulated sugar using a stand or hand mixer. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in 2 tablespoons (30ml) of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon (5ml) of vanilla extract. Continue mixing until well combined and creamy.
  4. Incorporate the dry ingredients: Gradually add 1 ½ cups (190g) of heat-treated flour and ¼ teaspoon of salt to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until the flour is fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Add the chocolate chips: Fold in ½ cup (90g) of mini chocolate chips using a spatula. This step ensures the chips don’t break down and stay intact for the perfect cookie dough texture.

Notes

[‘Start with room temperature butter for a creamy texture.’, ‘Heat-treat the flour to make it safe to eat raw.’, ‘Add cream gradually to achieve the perfect consistency.’, ‘Chill the frosting for 10-15 minutes if it feels too soft to pipe.’, ‘Clean as you go to avoid sticky messes.’]
