I saw mentions of an eggless chocolate chip cookie frosting, but no recipe her on CC. I found this one online and it is fantastic! My family simply loved it. I put it on brown sugar cupcakes (also from hellobaker.net) and they were to die for.

This is the BEST frosting ever! I have used it three times now with a chocolate cake and I omitted the mini chips. SOOO yummy and everyone who ate it loved it. Doesn't make a very big batch so I typically triple it.
does this recipe need to be kept refridgerated?
