You can use this cookie frosting for just about any dessert. It’s perfect on brownies, peanut butter cookies, or swirl it into vanilla ice cream. 

Let’s dive into everything you need to make this delicious peanut butter cookie frosting.

 

Ingredients for the Frosting:

Brown Sugar: This adds a delicious cookie like texture to the frosting. 

Peanut Butter Cookie Mix: I like to use the Betty Crocker brand. 

Peanut Butter: Opt for a high-quality, creamy  or chunky peanut butter to infuse the frosting with a rich and nutty flavor.

Vanilla Extract: You can use vanilla extract or my favorite vanilla bean paste

Unsalted Butter: Butter adds a luxurious creaminess to the frosting, enhancing its texture and taste.

Powdered Sugar: The sweetness and fine texture of powdered sugar are crucial for achieving the desired consistency.

Vanilla Extract:A splash of vanilla extract adds a layer of warmth and depth to the frosting, balancing the sweetness.

Steps to Create Peanut Butter Cookie Frosting:

Creaming the Butter and Sugars:

In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter and the brown sugar. Beat them together until smooth and well incorporated.

Add the Peanut Butter:

Incorporate the peanut butter and a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the mixture, blending it to enhance the overall flavor.

Gradual Addition of Powdered Sugar:

Begin adding powdered sugar gradually, ensuring a smooth consistency. The amount can be adjusted based on your desired sweetness.

Add the Peanut Butter Cookie Mix:

Next add the peanut butter cookie mix and cream to combine. 

Adjusting Consistency with Milk or Cream:

If the frosting is too thick, add a small amount of milk or cream to achieve a spreadable consistency. Conversely, if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.

Whipping to Fluffiness:

Whip the frosting for an additional few minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and irresistibly smooth.

How To Use Peanut Butter Cookie Frosting:

While Peanut Butter Cookie Frosting is undoubtedly a showstopper on traditional peanut butter cookies, don’t hesitate to explore its versatility.

Try it on oatmeal cookies, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, or even as a filling for cupcakes. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.
