Introduction

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip is a fun and delicious treat that tastes just like your favorite cookie dough, but safe to eat raw. It’s perfect for parties or a sweet snack, and pairs wonderfully with crackers, cookies, or fruit.

A white bowl filled with creamy, light beige cookie dough thickly mixed with small dark brown chocolate chips evenly spread throughout. The surface of the dough is creamy and slightly textured with visible folds and peaks. Surrounding the bowl is a mix of round golden vanilla wafer cookies and rectangular brownish gingerbread cookies, both resting on a white marbled surface. The overall scene is softly lit, capturing the smoothness and chunky texture of the cookie dough and the crisp shapes of the cookies around it. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
Graham crackers, cookies, or fruit (for dipping)

Instructions

Step 1: In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in both sugars and vanilla extract until just combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans if using.
Step 2: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the texture firm up.
Step 3: Serve chilled with graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For a nut-free version, simply omit the pecans or substitute with sunflower seeds.
Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
Use white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
Try stirring in a tablespoon of peanut butter for a richer dip.

Storage

Store the cookie dough dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before serving, give it a quick stir and allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for easier dipping.
