In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
Step 12
Stir in a few drops of blue gel food coloring to create a spooky blue moon color.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a plastic zipper bag with a corner snipped off) with the frosting.
For the Werewolf Ears:
Step 14
Separate the round chocolate cookies, carefully removing the cream filling.
Step 15
Cut each cookie in half to create the werewolf ears.
Step 16
Using a small dab of frosting, attach a mini marshmallow to the center of each cookie half, creating the inner ear.
