Cookie Dough Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer or stand mixer. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy, with no lumps of flour remaining.
- Check Consistency: If the frosting is too thick, you can add a teaspoon of milk or cream to loosen it slightly. If too thin, add a bit more flour, one teaspoon at a time, until desired thickness is reached.
- Use or Store: Spread the frosting immediately on your cooled baked goods or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using refrigerated frosting, bring it back to room temperature and re-whip for best texture.
Notes
- This frosting is edible without baking due to the use of heat-treated flour or by ensuring the flour is safe to eat.
- You can add mini chocolate chips for an authentic cookie dough texture and flavor.
- For a richer taste, try brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- Make sure the butter is soft but not melted to achieve the best fluffy texture.
- If concerned about raw flour safety, heat treat flour by microwaving or baking at 350°F for 5 minutes before use.
