Buttercream frostings are usually a bit boring for me (I prefer to use ganaches when possible), but this cookie dough flavor buttercream is surprisingly tasty.
The ingredients are simple:
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ tablespoon vanilla
- (optional) chocolate chips
- (optional) food coloring
Step 1 – Combine butter, salt, and brown sugar.
Step 2 – Add powdered sugar. Stir thoroughly.
Step 3 – Add flour. Stir thoroughly.
Step 4 – Add milk and vanilla. Stir thoroughly.
Step 5 – If desired, chocolate chips and/or food coloring can be added to the mixture. The frosting is now ready to pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
