Cookie Dough Icing

You guys if you are trying to eat really nutritious things, please don't read any further because this will ruin you. I got on my Pinterest to find a quick recipe to make something sweet. I always want something sweet later in the evening...anways so I got on and BAM, there it was, this picture of cookie dough icing in all of it's glory. It's from iambaker.net and it has other recipes as well that I am sure are just as delicious.

So I did what any mom avoiding bed-time routines would do and I made it. It was super easy, and it is fantastic. It made so much I think I need to make a cake to pair with it (yes, I made frosting and only frosting with no intention of making anything else). A spoon has worked swell so far...My husband and I can't stay out of it.

Ok so here's the simple recipe and the picture I took of it - YUM.

Cookie Dough Frosting after we'd devoured some of it 

Cookie Dough Frosting

1 1/4 C brown sugar, packed

2 sticks of butter, softened

2 1/2 C flour

2-3 tsp vanilla

pinch of salt

8-16 Tbs whole milk 

Handful of mini-chocolate chips

Beat the sugar and butter until smooth. Add flour, vanilla, salt and mix well. Slowly add milk until desired consistency. Enjoy!

 The original recipe says to add 16 Tbs of milk and to add a tablespoon at a time to make a softer/smoother texture. I didn't add as much brown sugar (I was running low) or milk (I just didn't think it needed it) and it still turned out phenomenal.
