# Ingredients:

→ Cupcakes

01 - 1 box flavored cake mix
02 - 1 can royal blue icing (Wilton or Betty Crocker)
03 - 4 chocolate chip cookies
04 - 16 white chocolate melt pieces
05 - 16 brown M&M's
06 - 1 tube white or yellow icing
07 - 8 cupcake liners

# Steps:

01 - Prepare cupcakes as directed on the cake mix package. Use 8 liners. Note that one can of icing works for approximately 8 cupcakes with this design.
02 - Once the cupcakes have cooled, attach a star tip to the icing tube or piping bag. Starting in the middle of each cupcake, press the icing down and gradually build upwards while swirling to fully cover the top.
03 - Cut a small slit in the icing where the cookie will go. Break the chocolate chip cookies in half and insert one half into each slit to resemble a mouth.
04 - Place two white chocolate melts on the cupcake where the eyes should go. Add a drop of white or yellow icing on each melt, and attach a brown M&M to complete each eye. Align the M&M's slightly off-center for a playful 'cross-eyed' effect.
05 - The cupcakes are ready to serve. Kids will love their fun and whimsical Cookie Monster appearance.

# Tips:

01 - For a cleaner look, ensure the cookies are inserted stably and the icing is evenly layered. This design works best with blue icing specifically labeled 'royal blue'.
