How to make cookie dough frosting

  • Measure the all purpose flour and place on a parchment lined sheet pan, bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes and then cool before using. Heating the flour makes this frosting safe to eat.

  • Cream softened butter and powdered sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy for 2-3 minutes.

  • Add the milk and beat for another 2 minutes. Beating the frosting on high speed gives it a fluffy texture, so be sure not to skip this step.

  • Mix in the cooled flour and beat until incorporated.

  • Finely chop the chocolate and stir in.

  • Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Tips on making this recipe perfectly

  • Use a high quality chocolate, the quality of the final product is only as good as the ingredients used. For this recipe I used Scharffen Berger 62% Semi Sweet Dark Chocolate Baking Bar.

  • Heat the flour for the frosting for the suggested time to ensure it is safe to eat raw.

  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper, this makes it easy to pull the brownies out and cut them.

  • Cool the brownies before frosting.

  • If you do not want to use cookie frosting you can always just leave the brownies plain or finish them off with this chocolate fudge frosting.
