What Is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip?
Chocolate chip cookie dough dip is basically uncooked cookie dough turned into a smooth, scoopable snack. It reminds you of the classic dough you might sneak by the spoonful, but safe to eat because there’s no raw egg in it. Instead, the flour is toasted first so you dont risk eating raw flour.
The main ingredients are unsalted butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and of course mini chocolate chips. Everything gets mixed together for a rich, creamy dip that kids and grown-ups both love. Dessert dips have been popping up at parties more often lately, and this cookie dough version is one of the best.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
First off, the taste is amazing. It’s got that sweet cookie dough flavor but in a dippable form, so you can share it easily. It’s also really versatile: you can use fruits for a healthier twist or pretzels for that salty-sweet combo. Plus, there’s no baking, so you save time and dont heat up your kitchen.
Whether it’s for a birthday, a game night, or just a cozy evening in, this dip makes everyone smile. You scoop, you share, you laugh, and before you know it the bowl is empty. And best of all, anyone can make it—no baking skill required!
Ingredients
You’ll need these items to make the dip:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Tip: Use good-quality chocolate chips if you can, and make sure the butter and cream cheese are nice and soft before you start mixing.
Directions
Just follow these steps:
- Toast the Flour
Put the flour in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir it for about 5 minutes until it’s a light brown color. Let it cool completely before you use it, or the heat will melt your butter. - Cream Butter and Sugars
In a big bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mix is fluffy—about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. - Add Cream Cheese & More
Mix in the cream cheese, vanilla, toasted flour, and salt. Keep beating until it’s smooth. Scrape the sides so nothing is left behind. - Fold in Chocolate Chips
Use a spatula to gently fold in the mini chips. Don’t overmix or they’ll break up too much. - Chill & Serve
Put the dip in a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Then grab your dippers and dig in!
Serving Suggestions
Here are some fun things to dunk:
- Apple slices, strawberries, or banana pieces
- Pretzels for a sweet-salty treat
- Graham crackers for a classic combo
- Mini cookies or wafer sticks for extra crunch
Arrange everything on a big plate or tray so it looks extra cool for your guests.
