What girl doesn’t have a memory of licking the beaters or eating finger-scoops full of chocolate chip cookie batter while their mom was baking cookies? It just felt right. Then, “they” started saying we were going to die from doing that because of raw eggs. Well, that just ruined all the fun. Then last year a friend of mine introduced me to a dip that tastes EXACTLY like cookie dough. All the sinful fun without the raw eggs!
Each month the women in my neighborhood get together for a “girls night” and enjoy some non-men, non-children fun. We rotate host houses and everyone brings a snack to share and their beverage of choice and we sit around and gab. I thought this cookie dough dip would be perfect for such an occasion. And it was – almost every single girl at the get together asked me for the recipe- it was a huge hit!
Be forewarned – this is super sweet and incredibly addicting!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip (adapted from Recipezaar)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (8-oz) pkg cream cheese
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously, until the brown sugar dissolves. (You can also do this in the microwave but watch it closely. The butter/sugar mixture will boil over fast. Stir every 30 seconds or so.)
2. Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla extract and set aside to cool.
3. Beat the cream cheese and confectioner’s sugar for 1 minute.
4. Slowly beat in the cooled butter mixture and beat again for another minute.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Pour into a serving bowl and refrigerate.
7. Garnish with additional chips, if you choose.
Serve with Nilla wafers (my choice) or graham crackers.
**Note: after refrigerating the dip it will be pretty solid and un-dippable so make sure to remove it from the refrigerator about 15-30 minutes before you plan on serving it, so it has time to soften up.

this looks so amazing. i loooove cookie dough so i will have to give this a try sometime. and your girls nights sound like a blast! i need to move to a neighborhood like that
Yum! I love this recipe. You are right, once you refrigerate it is pretty solid.
One cute thing I do with this is to crunch up the nilla wafers and add some melted butter then I push that into the bottom of a cupcake liner and then put the “dip” on top and refrigerate. I always get raves when I do that!
This looks so stinking good. I could go for a big scoop full of it right about now. I will be starring this recipe in my reader.
I really wish that I could have dairy and sugar! This sounds SOOOO good!
Please help me! I have made this dip several times, # 1 it is never white, and # 2 it is never solid it is gooey. Help what can I be doing wrong, I follow the reciepe to a tee.
I just made this and I think I want to be your best friend. I lOVE the recipe. So fast and easy and unbelievably delicous!
Thanks for sharing it!
Ugh, why not just open up a can of frosting and call it dip? blargh xP
This is going on my list of recipes to try!
this was a huge hit at the superbowl party I attended!
This was an awesome recipe! I made it over the weekend. Thanks for sharing!
I made this dip for our Super Bowl party yesterday. It was a huge hit by all the chocolate lovers! We used Nilla wafers for dipping, as you said it was your favorite. Thanks for an amazing recipe!
THIS officially makes YOU my hero.
I make a similar version but just soften the butter and cream cheese and blend it all together, then chill and serve with graham crackers or the chocolate wafer cookies sold by the ice cream toppings. I’ll definitely try the nilla wafers !!
I made this for a Superbowl party I was going to – even doubled the recipe!! SO GOOD! – Just didn’t need to double it because it was so rich, even with using light butter & FF Cream Cheese! Delicious and will definitely make again – it’s gone into my “Busy Mom’s Cookbook” binder of all my go-to recipes.

I just made this and it tastes great. But mine is a beige color. I am not sure I cooked the brown sugar long enough. How do you know when the sugar/butter mixture has cooked long enough?
Hi Debbie, Just until the brown sugar is completely melted.
this looks AMAZING! definitly trying these and the cookie dough brownies next!
Can this be made ahead of time then frozen? Once needed just thaw it out?
I have never done that, but before freezing I would recommend just making it a day or two in advance and keeping it covered and refrigerated if you need to free up some time.
I made this recently for a little get together. It is so simple to make and my friends loved it. But I am not sure I did it right… the brown sugar was not dissolving into the butter like I thought it should. It wasn’t a problem, however, once I blended everything together… it still mixed in nicely.
Also, I wanted to use graham cracker sticks but couldn’t find them at the store so I settled on the Nilla Wafers for dipping and LOVED THEM with this recipe. Thanks!
