Maddie and I made these Cookie Monster Cupcakes this afternoon (inspired by this). I used flaked coconut for the “fur,” which I dyed with blue gel food coloring in a zipper bag. There’s probably a better method, but that’s all I had on hand. I also dyed the frosting blue. For the eyes, I melted white chocolate chips in the microwave and poured little circles onto waxed paper. We put an upside-down chocolate chip in the center of each one before the white chocolate hardened. I sliced a “mouth” and inserted a small chocolate chip cookie (Chips Ahoy!) into each cupcake. I think they kinda look like frogs, but they’re not too bad for our first attempt. The kids in her class loved them!
Mmm, Sesame Street.
