Homemade Chocolate Frosting

- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5-6 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and place 6 cookie pie liners onto a cookie sheet.
- Place softened butter and sugars into a large mixing bowl, cream until well combined. Add egg and vanilla, stirring well. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Add flour, baking soda and salt gently stirring until dough forms. Stir in chips until combined then scoop 3 large scoops of cookie dough into each cookie pie liner. Press dough down then bake for 15-17 minutes, until baked through. Let cool completely.
- To prepare frosting place butter into a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until melted then add cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium-large mixing bowl. Let chocolate cool for 10 minutes. When cooled slightly, add milk/vanilla and powdered sugar, alternating until all is used or frosting is to your desired consistency. Transfer to a piping bag or ziplock bag with tip of your choice added. Swirl chocolate frosting onto center of each cookie pie.
Notes
If you don't want to make homemade frosting, the chocolate frosting in a tub (Pillsbury) works just fine when time is short.
