I used vanilla cupcakes when making these monster cookie dough cupcakes, however there are many other amazing homemade cupcake flavors that will work well. Feel free to change up the cupcake flavor and use your favorite. Peanut Butter cupcakes, Chocolate cupcakes, and Chocolate Chip Cupcakes all pair well with this cookie dough frosting recipe.

Candy options. I used mini chocolate chips and mini M&Ms but you can change those out and use Reece’s pieces instead of the M&Ms.

Tips for Using Cookie Dough Frosting

To give it the nice rounded scoops look I use 1/4 cup scoop that you normally use to dish out ice cream. If you don’t  have a scoop you can always just use a spoon to scoop it out but I think they look much better when I use the scooper.
