5 Minute Dreamy Cookie Butter Frosting
Are you obsessed with cookie butter? Good because, same. I can seriously eat it just from the jar, but decided to take it up a notch and make it into a delicious buttercream frosting that only take 5 minutes to make. Imagine everything you love about spiced cookies- warm cinnamon, deep caramelized sugar, and instant coziness whipped up into a thick and fluffy frosting. Spread it over cakes, swirl it onto cupcakes, or sneak a spoonful straight from the bowl (my personal favorite).
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (170.25 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups (360 g) powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup (78.86 g) cookie butter
- 1/4 tsp (Pinch) kosher salt
- 1 tsp (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (1 tbsp) milk or cream
Instructions
- In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add the 3/4 cup butter and mix on low-medium speed for 30 seconds-1 minute.
- Stop the mixer, add in the 3 cups of powdered sugar, and turn the dial to the lowest mixing setting to mix in the sugar slowly. Move to a medium speed when the sugar is more incorporated. Mix for 2 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and add in 1/3 cup cookie butter, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp milk. Mix on medium-high speed for 1 minute-2 minutes.
- The icing should have stiff peaks, and hold its shape, not runny at all.
Notes
Storing Instructions
I like to store my frosting in plastic wrap and not a bowl or container- this way you dont sacrifice a bowl and theres no cleanup when you use it.
To store- lay out a large piece of plastic wrap, dump the frosting in the middle leaving enough room on the sides to fold over the frosting. Fold over all sides and seal tight.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. When you want to use it, just snip off a side and plop it into a piping bag, no need to even squeeze the frosting out.
