Cookie Monster Cupcakes

It is time to celebrate my favorite furry, blue monster.

November 2nd is Cookie Monster's Birthday!

You may wonder how I came to know this little nugget of information.

I do love to celebrate birthdays, and I am pretty good at remembering dates.

But, Sesame Street characters?

Let me show you something...

My daughter has written the birthdays of ALL the Sesame Street characters on my calendar.

(We now know that my oldest daughter shares her birthday with Ernie.)

This calls for some Cookie Monster cupcakes!

Here is what you will need to make them:

Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies (they are the perfect size!)
White Candy Melts
Blue buttercream frosting in a piping bag
Wilton #233 decorating tip
Chocolate chips
A batch of your favorite cupcakes

First, cut out a mouth for Cookie Monster.
Eat the cupcake scraps.

Place a cookie in the mouth.
Pipe frosting fur all over the cupcake.

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. Put a dollop of frosting on the backs of 2 candy melts, and give Cookie Monster some eyes.

  Om, nom, nom, nom!!
