Cookie Dough Frosting

Filed Under: Recipes

Jump to Recipe

Funny story. I was making cupcakes to take photos of my new cupcake stand from World Market for my post tomorrow and accidentally made the brownie box and had already started cooking them in my cupcake liners before I realized my mistake. I turned to pinterest and found this recipe for Cookie Dough Frosting. Let me say I am sooooo glad for my mistake. This icing is divine! Kenny isn’t a fan of cupcakes but loves brownies and cookies so I think I found a new birthday tradition for him. He loved these.

I just used the pillsbury fudge box brownies. They are my favorite. I have tried homemade but haven’t  found a recipe I liked. She did share a recipe for those on her blog though, if you want to make your own.

    Those look DIVINE!!! Oh I am dying to make them! Brownies and cupcakes are both my weakness. So is cookie dough. I think you should rename them "heaven in a cupcake that you cannot stop eating and will cause you to gain back all the weight you lost." or not. Totally your call. LOL :)

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
