Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Buttercream Frosting: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of unsalted butter with 4 cups of powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  2. Add Flavors and Adjust Consistency: Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream, beating for another minute until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Color Your Frosting: Divide frosting into bowls, tint with gel food coloring, and stir to achieve vibrant shades.
  4. Match and Prepare Cookies: Pair Chips Ahoy cookies into groups of two, with one upside down for assembly.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread or pipe frosting onto the flat side of the upside-down cookie and press a second cookie on top.
  6. Add the Monster Eyes: Press candy eyes into the frosting while it's still soft for creative designs.
  7. Let the Frosting Set: Allow assembled cookies to sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Store or Serve: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
