The Ultimate Edible Cookie Dough Frosting
This ultra-creamy Edible Cookie Dough Frosting tastes exactly like your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough but is completely safe to eat! It’s stable enough for piping onto cupcakes or spreading over a batch of fudgy brownies.
Ingredients
1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (heat treated)
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Add the flour to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 45 seconds or until the flour reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Let it cool completely.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix on medium-high for at least 5 minutes until light and airy.
3. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Add in the cooled heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until the mixture is uniform.
5. Add in half of the heavy cream (about 2-3 tablespoons), mixing until evenly distributed.
6. Add the powdered sugar. As it begins to incorporate, pour in the remaining heavy cream. Mix until the frosting is smooth and velvety.
7. Fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand and use immediately to frost your favorite treats.
Notes
Ensure your flour is completely cool before adding it to the butter, or it will melt the frosting.
Always use mini chocolate chips; regular chips are too heavy and can clog piping tips.
If the frosting is too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes before piping.
