Technical Difficulties

Well, today's cupcake recipe was the delightful sounding Mint Chocolate Chip cupcakes. Unfortch, they were somewhat better in theory than in actual execution. (At least in my opinion). The frosting turned out weird. It tasted fine, but the texture was off, I thought. Tim, of course, pronounced them delicious, God bless him, but I am not so sure.

Can anyone explain this? The frosting for this recipe called for 2/3 cup butter and 2 cups powdered sugar. The first recipe I tried used 1 cup of butter and 3 cups powdered sugar. That doesn't seem right. No wonder I liked the first one better! I also did not have the requested "Dutch process cocoa" - just plain old cocoa powder. Oh well. Tim will eat them. :)
