Cookie Monster Cupcake

Ingredients

• 1 quantity chocolate cupcakes
• 200g butter, softened
• 2 ½ cups icing mixture
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• blue food colouring
• 1 tbsp milk
• 1 pkt white marshmallows
• 1 tube black writing icing
• 12 chocolate chip cookies (1/2 per Monster with a few for breakage)

Directions

Using an electric mixer, whip the butter until it is pale. This will take at least 5 minutes on high.

Gradually add in the icing mixture and vanilla until well combined.

With the mixer running, add in food colouring until you get to the Cookie Monster colour. This may be a lot if you are using liquid food colouring or a little if using gel food colouring.

Add in the milk and mix until the frosting puffs up.

Fill a piping bag with a fluted nozzle and pipe on icing.

With the writing icing, place black spots on the marshmallows for pupils.

Place on each cupcake.

Cut cookies in half and place in “mouth”.
