Turtles Cookie Dough Frosting
A twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie dough that we all love. Pecan and caramel is one of my favourite flavour combinations, mixing this into cookie dough frosting was a huge win.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Softened Butter
- ½ cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- ⅔ cup All Purpose Flour Baked and cooled, See Notes
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans
- ½ cup Toffee Chips Optional, See Notes
Instructions
Preparation - Flour
- To kill any bacteria in the raw flour spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350℉ for 3-5 minutes or microwave for 1 minutes in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds. Let it cool completely before adding to the buttercream or it will melt the butter.
Buttercream
- Using an electric mixer or stand mixer cream the butter and brown sugar together, mixing until light in colour and very fluffy.
- Turning off the mixer, add in the powdered sugar in parts, mixing on low until incorporated, then add in more. Once all incorporated mix on medium for another minute.
- Add in the cooled flour and mix until incorporated plus a minute to ensure it's smooth. You may need to sift it if clumpy.
- Blend in the milk and vanilla mixing until light fluffy and smooth.
- Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, fold in the chocolate chips and pecans. (Toffee chips if desired)

I would only recommend adding the toffee chips if you aren't going to be using caramel sauce in your application. For cakes or cupcakes you can add a drizzle of caramel, for less mess toffee chips will that caramel flavour.
