Cookie Dough Frosting Recipe

I like this easy frosting recipe because it’s delicious and ready to go in about 5 minutes. A decadent topping for cakes, cupcakes, and brownies, this frosting is even safe to eat straight from the bowl!

This recipe yields enough frosting to generously cover a 2-layer cake (made in standard 8-9-inch pans) or 12 cupcakes.

How to Cook Flour

Do you need to cook flour? Maybe. I’ll admit, until very recently, I never associated raw flour with food poisoning in any way and have likely consumed buckets of it over the years in the form of raw cookie dough and batters; fearlessly and recklessly licking beaters and spatulas and…. now that I think of it…never actually getting sick, not even a little bit.

Anyway.

Food poisoning from consuming uncooked flour is apparently a real thing so I feel that it’s only fitting to share this new-to-me information, in case you also didn’t know: Raw flour can possibly contain bacteria that cause food poisoning and the solution to this potential risk is cooking the flour; raising the temperature to 160°F kills whatever could be in there.

How to Heat-Treat Flour

There are two straightforward ways to do this: the microwave and the oven.

  • Microwave Method: Spread the flour on a microwave-safe plate and cook for 30 seconds. Stir the flour around and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet, Bake for 5 minutes, stirring halfway to break it up. The downside to using the oven is that the flour can stick a bit to the pan. Personally, I find this highly annoying and prefer the microwave method.

Now that’s out of the way, let’s get on to the recipe!

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting

You will need:

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, cooked, if desired
  • 1/4 cup oat milk, or other mild-flavored plant milk such as unsweetened almond
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, dairy-free

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cooke Dough Frosting

STEP ONE: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.

STEP TWO: Add the vanilla extract, salt, flour, and milk. Mix again to incorporate.

STEP THREE: Stir in the chocolate chips.

STEP FOUR: Adjust consistency to taste. Adding additional milk will thin the frosting while extra flour will thicken it. Spread on your dessert of choice and serve.

Storage

  • This cookie dough frosting can be stored, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
