Fun and whimsical cupcakes with vibrant blue frosting, googly eyes, and a cookie garnish, perfect for kids’ parties or themed events.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Blue gel food coloring
  • Chocolate chip cookies (mini or broken into pieces)
  • Edible googly eyes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  7. Beat the butter until creamy, then slowly add the powdered sugar. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Stir in blue food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
  8. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes using a star tip, creating Cookie Monster’s “fur.” Stick a chocolate chip cookie into the frosting to look like it’s in his mouth. Add googly eyes—position them slightly askew for extra character.

Notes

[‘Use gel food coloring for vibrant blue frosting without thinning.’, ‘Let cupcakes cool completely before decorating to avoid melted frosting.’, ‘Adjust frosting consistency with heavy cream or powdered sugar as needed.’, “Practice piping on parchment paper if you’re new to decorating.”]
