Calories: 257kcal
Cost: 15
Ingredients
- 24 chocolate cupcakes (baked and cooled) homemade or from a box
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (124g) all-purpose flour (baked if desired)
- 1-3 tablespoons (5-15ml) milk (regular, nonfat, or nondairy are all fine)
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Stir butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix in salt, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon milk and stir until smooth.
- Add flour and mix until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add additional milk to thin (you want it spreadable but not runny). Stir in chocolate chips.
- Frost cookies with cookie dough frosting by scooping it onto the cupcakes.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze frosting for up to 2 months.

Notes
- I love using mini chocolate chips in this too!
- Add nuts or sprinkles if you like.
- Want even more cookie dough? Fill the cupcakes with the cookie dough as well as using it as the frosting (doing this will make about 12-18 cupcakes instead of 24)
