Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make the perfect Cookie Dough Dip:
For the Cookie Dough Dip:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular-sized, chopped)
- ¼ cup mini M&M’s (optional, for extra fun)
For Dipping:
- Graham crackers
- Pretzels
- Apple slices
- Nilla wafers
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, etc.)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dip Base
- Beat the cream cheese and butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugars: Gradually add the brown sugar and powdered sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and milk: Stir in the vanilla extract and milk. Continue mixing until fully combined and the dip is smooth.
Step 2: Add the Cookie Dough “Flavors”
- Fold in the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. This gives your dip that signature chocolate chip cookie dough flavor. If you like, you can add M&M’s or other small candies for an extra colorful twist.
- Chill (optional): While not necessary, letting the dip chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes will help the flavors meld together and make it a bit firmer for dipping.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Transfer to a serving bowl: Once the dip is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl. If you’d like, garnish with additional mini chocolate chips or sprinkles on top.
- Serve with dippers: Serve your cookie dough dip with your choice of dippers, such as graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or anything else you’d like to dip.
- Enjoy! Dive in and enjoy this sweet, indulgent treat! Be prepared for everyone to ask for the recipe.
Tips and Tricks
- Add a little more milk: If you want the dip to be a little creamier, you can always add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Make it dairy-free: To make this dip dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and butter substitutes, and ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free as well.
- Custom toppings: Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), dried fruit, or even a touch of cinnamon for a new twist on the flavor.
- Serve in a fun bowl: For extra flair, serve your dip in a mason jar or a cute dish with a festive garnish!
