Cookie Dough Frosting

Huh? It's true - this frosting really tastes like chocolate chip cookie dough. I used it on a dense yellow cake with chocolate chips in it, but I think the cake would be better without the chocolate chips, that way they aren't competing with the frosting.
Be warned - the frosting is extremely sweet so I don't think you need tons of it. But I'm sure there are those who would disagree!

Cookie Dough Frosting
1 cup Butter, Softened
¾ cups Brown Sugar
¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt (or regular)
4 cups Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
up to 2 Tablespoons Evaporated Milk (could probably do whole milk)
1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips


Beat butter, brown sugar and salt for about 3 minutes until fully combined. Beat in powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 T. milk. Continue to beat  until fluffy, adding more milk if needed. Add chocolate chips.
