Hello!
Story time!
The other day I had to bake and decorate some cupcakes to sell for work. Unfortunately after I finished icing and decorating my cupcakes, I had a lot of buttercream frosting left. Seeing that it made me really sad and I did not want to let it go to waste. I am the kind of person that will not throw food away until it is inedible or toxic. I left it in the fridge and took me a few days that frosting is just sugar and butter; the basics of all bakeries. Then checked some recipes and came up with this amazing cookie recipe. These cookies are not like your basic cookies, they have a slight cakey texture inside and note that my frosting contained caramel so it gives that extra flavour. This recipe makes 35-40 decent sized cookies.
So here we go, my ultimate leftover frosting cookies!
Ingredients:
- 600g Buttercream Frosting (the amount I had left)
- 600g Plain Flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- Pinch of Baking Soda
- 100 ml Milk
- Filling of your choice: I went for 2 handfulls of dried papaya, raisins and mixed crushed nuts. You can also choose chocolate or anything you fancy; no rules in here.
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 180 C or 350 F or gas mark 4.
2. Take your buttercream frosting out of the fridge and leave it to soften.
3. Whip it really well to make sure it is creamy.
4. Add the egg and beat really well.
5. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and milk and with a wooden spoon mix it well until really incorporated.
6. Add the fillings and give it a final mix.
7. Line your tray with baking paper.
8. Take a scoop of cookie dough and form it in a ball. Place them into the tray. Ensure you leave enough gap between each other because they expand in size.
9. Bake them for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Leave them to cool in a cooling rack.
Serve!
I'm really glad I found this amazing and delicious way to prevent throwing spare frosting away. It made me really happy and they taste really delicious. If you do end up with spare frosting, give this a try. Let me know how it goes and don't forget to show me pictures. I made a lot so I am taking them with me for my grandparents since there is a lack of such ingredients as far as I know.
P.s. Saturdays blog post will be up on Friday for personal reasons and I may not blog next Wednesday, but this depends on whether I will be able to have access to internet or not. Bear with me!
