Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Frosting:

  • 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks), salted or unsalted
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, baked and cooled
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Bake the Flour: If you haven’t done so, bake the flour at 350℉ for 3-5 minutes or microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds. Let it cool completely before adding to the buttercream.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a standing mixer or handheld mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, salt, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar: Turn off the mixer and add the powdered sugar. Mix until incorporated, then beat for another minute.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Add the baked and cooled flour. Mix on low until incorporated, then beat on medium for one more minute.
  5. Add Milk and Vanilla: Mix in the milk or cream and vanilla extract until combined. Beat on medium until light and fluffy.
  6. Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula.

Notes

  • Make sure the flour is completely cooled before adding it to the frosting.
  • This frosting is best used immediately or stored in the refrigerator.
