Pre-heat your oven to 190ºC/375ºF/Gas mark 5
Place 12 baking cases in a muffin tin
Put the butter and sugar in a large bowl and cream together until soft (the butter will get paler the more you whisk)
Add the vanilla extract and whisk again
Add one egg and whisk, and then the others 1 at a time!
Then add the flour and whisk until nice and smooth
Then fold in your chocolate chips
Use 1-3 tbsp of batter for each cupcake, or use an ice cream scoop if you don't want any mess!
Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown
When baked, leave to cool on a wire rack
Now for the icing! With an electric whisk, whisk the butter alone until pale and creamy
Then add in the icing sugar bit by bit and whisk again till the mixture all comes together.
Combine the milk and vanilla in a separate bowl and then add to butter tbsps at a time, then whisk
Continue beating until light and fluffy and then start to add in your food colouring
When you get the perfect cookie monster colour, leave to the side!
Put your coconut into a bowl and add 5-6 drops of food colouring and mix really well with a spoon until all the coconut is blue
With a spatula, spread the icing onto your cakes and make sure it is quite thick - 5mm
Then roll the cake (icing side down) in the coconut until fully covered
With a bit of icing, stick the chocolate button and chocolate chip together to make an eye!
Put 2 eyes in the top of the head and place a part of cookie in its mouth!
I hope you enjoy your cakes!!! :D :P :D
