A Sweet Discovery

The first time I made this dip, it was a complete accident. I had planned to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies for a get-together, but at the last minute, I realized I was out of eggs. Instead of scrapping dessert altogether, I decided to turn my favorite cookie dough into something scoopable.

I mixed up the usual ingredients—but without the eggs—and added cream cheese to make it extra rich and dippable. I brought it to the party, and within minutes, it was gone. People were literally scraping the bowl clean, asking for the recipe. From that day on, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip became my go-to dessert for parties, movie nights, and anytime I needed a quick, irresistible treat.

And now, I’m sharing it with you!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

This dip is ridiculously easy to make—just mix, chill, and serve!

1. Whip the Butter and Cream Cheese

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.

💡 Pro Tip: Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature. This ensures a silky, lump-free dip!

2. Add the Sugars and Vanilla

Turn the mixer to low and add in the brown sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is well combined and slightly fluffy.

Storage Tips

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Do Not Freeze: The texture will change due to the cream cheese, so it’s best enjoyed fresh!
• Make Ahead: This dip is perfect for prepping in advance! Just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving so it softens up.
