Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting (Printable)

A rich, creamy chocolate chip cookie dough frosting perfect for cupcakes and cakes.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

02 - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

03 - 1/4 cup whole milk

04 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

05 - 2 cups all-purpose flour, heat-treated

06 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

07 - 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

01 - Beat softened butter and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.

02 - Pour in milk and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.

03 - Gradually add heat-treated flour and salt on low speed, mixing until just combined.

04 - Gently fold mini chocolate chips into frosting using rubber spatula until evenly distributed.

05 - Frost cooled baked goods immediately or refrigerate up to 3 days. Bring chilled frosting to room temperature and stir before using.

01 -

Its basically edible cookie dough that you can spread on anything
The texture is impossibly creamy with those perfect little chocolate chip surprises in every bite

02 -

Heat-treating the flour is crucial because raw flour can carry bacteria and nobody wants food poisoning at their party
This frosting is soft and dreamy but not great for piping fancy roses or detailed designs

03 -

Let your butter soften naturally on the counter because microwaving it changes the texture completely
If you only have regular chocolate chips, chop them into smaller pieces so they distribute better
