cookie monster cupcakes

*I take no credit for these yummy creations. Well, other than photographing & then promptly eating one. My mom is the genius baker extraordinaire who created these treats!


Ingredients
cupcakes - any variety
white or buttercream icing
blue food coloring
granulated sugar or coconut flakes
chocolate morsels
small soft chocolate chip cookies cut in half
small plastic baggy
scissors

Instructions
  1. spoon a few spoonfuls of white icing into the corner of your small plastic baggy
  2. mix blue food coloring into icing & sugar/coconut flakes (in separate bowls!)
  3. spread icing on cupcakes
  4. sprinkle sugar or coconut on top to create "fur"
  5. cut off a small tip off the small plastic baggy & pipe the white eye part onto cupcake
  6. place morsels on top of white piped eyes
  7. dip flat half of cut cookie into leftover blue icing & place as "mouth" (this helps it stick to the sugar/coconut a little better)
  8. sing the "C is for Cookie" song as you serve the cutest cupcakes ever

wow, those are adorable! I wish my kids were littler so I'd have an excuse to make them!

Good luck! They were totally easier than I thought they'd be. The hardest part is not sampling too much as you go! :)

I think we have the same problem...I think I ate three in a matter of an hour. Mmmmm, delicious!

Eh, kids of all ages loved them at our picnic. In fact, I'm pretty sure there was a three way tie for biggest fan of the cookie monster cupcakes: my 2 year old daughter, my 2 year old nephew & my 30 year old brother-in-law!

How cute are those?! My kids would love them (who am I kidding, mommy would probably love them too)!

Thanks! I think I'm going to try to re-create them with another character sooner or later too. I've seen Elmo & Oscar the Grouch done really well before too.

I think this mommy loved them nearly as much as the toddler did. Really though, what's not to like when there is chocolate, gooey goodness!
