I am planning a Cookie Monster cake for Blake's upcoming birthday. I wanted to do something a little different with the frosting, something cookie-related. So, I made up this frosting recipe. We tried it today on cupcakes, and oh my it was delicious! I will make this again; it's definitely a fun twist on plain ol' frosting.
- 1/2 c. butter, room temperature
- 1/2 c. shortening
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 3 - 4 T. milk, or until the right texture
- 1/2 tsp. butter vanilla gel (this is super yummy flavoring I buy at my local cake supply store. However, an acceptable substitute would be 1 tsp. vanilla extract, or 1/2 tsp. vanilla + 1/2 tsp. butter extract.)
- 2 - 3 chocolate chip cookies (mine were soft and warm from the oven and so crumbled into the frosting really easily.)
Cream the butter and shortening together. Stir in the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. When it looks like frosting, dump in the chocolate chip cookies and mix well until no large pieces are left. Frost on your cake or cupcake (or just eat by the spoonful if you're like Katelee :) and enjoy!
P.S. How adorable are these teeny tiny chocolate chip cookies? I made them mostly for Blake's cookie monster cake - it's gonna be so cute! :)
