"Me want cookie!!" Cookie Monster Cupcakes!

Happy Friday, everyone! I have another cute cupcake recipe I would like to share with you. I made these little guys for our grandma's 92nd birthday. It was really more for the kiddos as I knew they would get a kick out of them. 

This creative idea came from Robin at www.birdonacake.blogspot.com -she does some amazing things with cupcakes and cakes!



Here is what you will need to decorate these little cuties:

1. Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies (or you can use mini Chips Ahoy as   they are relatively the same size)
2. White Candy Melts (found at Michael's Arts & Crafts)
3. Blue buttercream frosting in a piping bag (remember to use the gel food coloring as it is more concentrated and really gives you a rich color) 
4. Wilton #233 decorating tip 
5. Chocolate chips 
6. A batch of your favorite cupcakes (I made chocolate and got the recipe from Glory at www.glorioustreats.blogspot.com)

Step 1: Once you have whipped up that batch of cupcakes and have let them cool, cut a slit in the bottom half of the cupcake. This is the space you are going to place the cookie. 

Step 2: Once you have cut your slits, you will place a cookie in each cupcake as pictured below. 

Step 3: Make your buttercream frosting and color it a nice bright blue. 

Step 4: Place your blue buttercream in a piping bag fitted with the Wilton tip #233 and pipe frosting fur all over the cupcake. 

Step 5: Once you have piped fur on all your cupcakes, you can work on putting together the googly eyes! Melt a few candy melts. Put a dab on the back of a chocolate chip, and stick it on the flat side of a candy melt. Make a set of two for each cupcake.

Look how cute cookie monster is with his eyes and fur! I just loved making these and look forward to hearing if any of you try making them. I saw a recipe for Elmo and may take a stab at him next! Don't be intimidated to make these, they were super easy!

Joan and I are in preparations to take some cake and cookie decorating classes and I look forward to sharing with you the many creations we discover during those courses! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and come visit Monday for Joan's "Back to Health Monday"!
