In reply to Hillary Clark. Hi Hillary! I think I would try a little more flour. I wouldn't add more liquid. :( I hope you are able to save it! :)

In reply to Kerry Harbinson. So im pretty sure i added too much cream, but mine was super soft and gritty and wouldnt hold the piping shape. Is there a way to come back from this? Cornstarch? More flour? More condensed milk? More butter? Liquid glycerin? I’m at a loas

In reply to Hailey. Hi Hailey! The butter would need to be warm enough to melt the sugars and you don't want the butter to be that warm or your frosting will be really runny. :(

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. Do you think softening the butter in the microwave a bit (not all the way melted) and mixing the sugars could mitigate this issue? I felt as though mine was pretty grainy too. Even with the condensed milk.

In reply to Karen. Hi Karen! This is normal and part of the cookie dough experience. Since the sugars aren't being baked and melted, they will still maintain some of their texture within the frosting. We do try to mitigate this a bit with the condensed milk here, but some grittiness should be expected

Would this work on cookies?

I’ve had to buy a tin of condensed milk for this recipe. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do with the remainder of the tin? I don’t want to throw it away

In reply to Shadi. Hi Shadi! If you are storing them for just a night they will be fine. If you want to keep them much longer it may be better to refrigerate it. :)

In reply to Nina. Hi Nina! I'm not sure how it would turn out. It will definitely change the flavor and I'm not sure how the consistency will be in the end. Sorry I can't help more. :(

Do cupcakes/cakes frosted with this need to be stored in the refrigerator?

Hi! This sounds amazing and I definitely will try it out! Just a question though- We don’t like our frostings super sweet, and with the amount of sugar that’s called for in this recipe, it seems like It may be a lot for me and my family. Do you think the consistency will be ok if I decreased the brown sugars to 1/2, regular sugar to 1/4 cup, and kept the 1/4 cup of condensed milk?

I think you’ve ticked it off – the ingredients are a tick list so you can mark the step as complete when following the recipe 🙂

In reply to Jean Conn. Maybe you crossed it out by a mistake by touching the empty square. So just touch it again and it will be uncrossed. It happens.

In reply to Jean Conn. Hi Jean! I'm not sure what you mean by the butter is crossed off the recipe. You need 1 cup of unsalted butter here. You will combine it in step 2. :)

I have not made this however the butter is crossed off the recipe is there reasoning behind that? I just did not want to miss a step to add or not to add.

In reply to Elle. I am so glad you enjoyed it so much, Elle! I can never get enough chocolate, so chocolate is always my flavor of choice. :)

This is the best cookie dough frosting I’ve ever made! ‘Cookie dough’ is my favorite flavor of anything (ice cream, candy, birthday cake). So, I’m pretty familiar with the process. This is as good as those little dessert boutiques that served flavored cookie dough. So much easier to make than a lot of edible cookie dough recipes I’ve tried- and better. This will be my go-to for sure. Additionally, I made the cupcakes you suggested with it and the entire thing was SO GOOD! I always do vanilla with cookie dough, but chocolate is my new flavor now. Thank you for this recipe!
