1

Preparation is key

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go!

2

Mixing up the batter

In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Mix until just combined.

3

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before moving on to the next step.

4

Frost and decorate

In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in 2 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy. To make that iconic Cookie Monster blue, add blue food coloring to the frosting until you achieve the desired color. Frost the cooled cupcakes generously with the blue frosting.

Bring out the cookies

Now it's time for the finishing touch! Take some chocolate sandwich cookies and gently press them into the frosted cupcakes, leaving just a bit peeking out to resemble Cookie Monster's mouth. To complete the look, use white candy melts or white chocolate chips for the eyes. Attach them to the cupcakes with a small dab of frosting.
