Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Buttercream

Ingredients |

• 2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter (softened, room temperature)
• 1 Cup of Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon of Salt
• 1 Cup of Heat Treated* and cooled, All-Purpose Flour
• 3 Cups of Powdered Sugar
• ⅓ Cup of Whole Milk
• 2 Tablespoons of Vanilla Extract
• ¾ Cup of Mini Chocolate Chips

*To heat-treat flour, spread your flour out on a clean sheet pan and bake at 350 for 7 minutes. This kills E. coli and other bacteria that could be hiding in raw flour!

Directions |

1. Cream the softened butter, light brown sugar, and salt with a whip attachment in an electric mixer for 2 minutes on high.
2. Add the heat treated flour and powdered sugar and mix on low.
3. Add the milk and vanilla extract and whip on high for 2 minutes.
4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula. 
5. Eat with a spoon while wearing pajamas and binge watching Friends or store in the fridge until you’re ready to get caking!
