The chocolate chips are totally optional. You can also use chopped up chocolate bits or just leave them out. It just kind of adds to the look of cookie dough. Doesn't hurt the taste either. :) If you plan to do any piping or decorating, you might want to do set aside some frosting before adding the chocolate chips. I forgot to do that this time so she didn't get any borders or dollops. Even mini chocolate chips do not get along with standard size pastry bags. The chocolate chips can also be sprinkled on or around the cake.
This recipe made plenty of frosting for my 2 layer cake - both filling and outside.
The original recipe came from here but it looks like she has changed it some. So you can check out her updated one or just use this one that works quite well, let me assure you. Totally up to you. Enjoy either way.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting
2 cups butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
2/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
5 to 6 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Beat together butter and brown sugar. Mix in vanilla, flour, and salt. Slowly add powdered sugar in one cup at a time, beating carefully, until you reach desired consistency for frosting. Mix in chocolate chips or use as decorations.
