I have this little flaw, and it’s called impatience.
Okay, it’s a huge flaw. Massive. Enormous.
I attribute this to growing up in the internet generation and getting everything likerightthisverysecond. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?
So, last night when I decided to add different ingredients to the original cookie dough dip, I was planning on waiting until later in the week to share. A sweet Christmas present, if you wish. Plus, I have a handful of savory appetizers to share!
Instead of cooking dinner, I belted “I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas” eight times until I got the perfect, whiny voice. I heard it once on Sunday and it hasn’t left my head since. Then I mixed up the three new flavors of cookie dough dip and ate 16 animal crackers and four spoonfuls of it for dinner.
And grew more impatient by the second, so much so that my finger was pulsating over the publish button at 8:45.
But all good things come to those who wait. Even if it’s only 12 hours.
For instance… peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough dip.
And double chocolate fudge cookie dough dip.
Even creamy snickerdoodle cookie dough dip. That really tastes like snickerdoodles!
I wish I could pick a favorite. You’d probably get a quicker response out of asking me what my favorite song is.
Except right now it’s that stupid hippopotamus song.
I started by making a normal-sized batch of cookie dough dip, then separated the mixture into three equal parts – going a little heavy-handed on the snickerdoodle dip portion since it wouldn’t have any extras added in like peanut butter or cocoa powder. Each flavor ended up with about three-quarters of a cup of dip.
The snickerdoodle dip actually tastes like snickerdoodle dough. I dubbed it the best dip ever.
But then I tried the peanut butter combination, which literally is exactly like peanut butter cookie dough. Maybe it’s my favorite?
I’m quite indecisive, but it’s with good reason. Here’s a plan: you make all three dips then report back on which is the best. It is a difficult task, but someone has to do it.
Cookie Dough Dip Trio
Start with one batch of cookie dough dip and divide it into three equal parts.
For Snickerdoodle Dough Dip: add 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon (or 2 tablespoons cinnamon for a full batch)
For Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip: add 1/4 cup peanut butter and 1/4 cup chocolate chips (or 1/2 cups for a full batch)
For Dough Chocolate Fudge Dough Dip: add 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1/4 cup chocolate chips (or 1/2 cups for a full batch)
Now, who’s getting me a hippopotamus for Christmas? I think it’s the only thing that will get this song out of my head.

That thud sound was me hitting the floor.
That looks amazing!
Get up! You need to get up to go make the dip.
Why do you torment me so? You know I have to make this now. And eat the whole thing myself. Sigh.
If I could, I would help.
So excited to try all these!!! One question is it better served fresh or can it be refrigerated so that it can be made ahead of time? Thank you.
I had some in my fridge for a few days and it tasted just as delicious! The only thing that will differ is the textures – when fresh, it is more syrupy and when out of the fridge it is more firm. Both are delicious!
I want to try them all!
I want a hippo too! And this dip!
Only a hippopotamus will doooo! You know what I love about your cooking/baking? It sounds like you need constant adult supervision in your kitchen.
I am speechless
So I need to know what else besides animal crackers (which I love) do you recommend using with these three beautiful little dips?
You’ve got to stop tempting me with these treats! I love this fun spin you did and will most definitely be trying these recipes in the VERY NEAR future. Thanks for sharing! And congrats on the fridge cleanout– you’ve inspired me to do the same!
OMG. I die. I would devour those.
this is the best creation EVER!! yum!!
This is pure evil. Pure delightful sugar evil

Never mind a salad for lunch. The snickerdoodle dip + a spoon will do
You are my dessert hero.
I’ll bring that hippo straight through your front door, that’s the easiest thing to do you know, if I can have some snickerdoodle dip!
Just made the pb/choc chip and snickerdoodle… I vote PB choc chip tastes most like cookie dough. Snickerdoodle one would be great with fruit though! Reminds me of an apple dip I’ve made before!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Heaven help me! This look delicious.. and sinful.. and delicious and… and…and… oh my word!!!!
I don’t know which one to try first! They all look so tasty
You go girl! This is so crazy fun. Love these dips – the more the merrier
XO
Never, ever heard of cookie dough dip. What a cool idea! And love the double chocolate. Looks like hot fudge. And I bet it’s great over ice cream.
Your presentation is stunning.
That, and I am moving in.
And I thought the original cookie dough dip was genius!! Now I HAVE to make these so I can give you an official report!
I just started reading your blog and oh my goodness I’m hooked. I already bookmarked a handful of recipes to try.
I wish you were my neighbor.
Thanks Julie!
Oh my….these look amazing.
I wish you could come to my Christmas party…….and bring all the food
.
This is truely genius!
I wish I could too!
You are my hero Jessica. Nuf said.
You rock.
Oh my….these look amazing.
I bow down to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Considering I’m already planning on making your Fluffy Snickerdoodles (I had dreams about these Sunday night. They tasted so amazing and I’ve been thinking about them all week) as well as other cookies, these now have to go on my list (as if I needed to add more). Pretty sure I busted the elastic on my sweatpants after reading this post. And I’m totally going to give these away as gifts. Is that evil or genius?
I made the original dip at my in-laws’ house this weekend. Woo hoo! Served it with honey wheat pretzel twists, graham crackers, and sliced Gala apples. All of us liked it, but each preferred different dippers. It was a definite win.
I am in the process of making the peanut butter chocolate chip dip for our family smorgasboard on Christmas Eve. YES. I’m ready.
So glad you liked it!
Oh my! I don’t know where to begin with these! True food porn!
That looks yummy!!
Living in the UK, I don’t actually know what snickerdoodle is… but it looks amazing! (Is it like a Snickers bar?)
I would much rather have this than hummus at a dinner party
Snickerdoodles are basically a cinnamon sugar cookie!
Oh yum, I wish we had those!
Made this trio last night for book club and they were phenomenal! My favorite is the original chocolate chip cookie dough dip but the snickerdoodle is a close second. Also am thinking of spreading the PB cookie dip on a bagel for breakfast!
Hey! I just recently found your blog and I love all of these recipes! I can’t wait to try this cookie dough dip! I posted this recipe on my blog and linked it back to you, so I hope you get even more followers!
Please check out my blog at: bmaryandblessed.blogspot.com

Nooooo! Not that song!! What is it about that song?? It drives me craaazy all thru the holiday season and it takes me ’til about February to get it out of my head. Then, for no reason at all, I’ll find myself singing it like, Mid July and it will take me another month or so to completely forget about it again!
I’m a Resident Assistant and made all three flavors for my 17 girls at our “end of the year party,” and let’s just say there wasn’t a bit left! Thank you so much for the recipes
I can’t stop raving about your blog to my friends!
made the chocolate chip / peanut butter chocolate chip / snickerdoodle tonight for a family party tomorrow – all three are AMAZING!!! awesome!!!
You are without a doubt my favorite person right now. Except for the fact that because of this I’m probably going to gain about 5 pounds. But it will be worth it.
I’m definitely going to make these for my next book club meeting! I’m already thinking of the fun things I can bring to dip in them, yum!!
Yum! I was linked here from the blog ‘what megan’s making’ and I’ve already fallen in (foodie) lust! Going to make it for the baseball playoff parties
Well all of these taste fantastic! However my snickerdoodle turned out looking more red like the cinnamon than dough with cinnamon specs like yours. Any reason why this happened?
I made a few modifications for the holidays though that you might want to try.
Peppermint Double Chocolate Fudge Dough Dip: 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup whole chocolate chips, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, 1 teaspoon crushed peppermint (to garnish the top). (for whole batch use 1/2 cups, 1/2 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon)
Candy Cane Dough Dip: Using original Cookie Dough Dip add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, add 1 tablespoon crushed candy cane, split batch in half, add a few drops of red food dye to one half of batch and mix for color, combine regular dip with colored and swirl for look, garnish with 1 teaspoon of crushed candy cane. (for full batch use 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, 2 tablespoons crushed candy cane, and 1 tablespoon crushed peppermint to garnish)
Brilliant!
Just made all 3 flavors!! Divine!!!

YUM. I’m always looking for new and fun ways to eat cookie dough!
I was wondering if you are able to make this and store in the fridge or freezer and about how long does it last! looks good and thought it would be good for the camper! thanks very much
This recipe is AMAZING! This tastes just like donut filling! How about s’mores? Add graham cracker chunks/crumbs, mini marshmallows and chocolate chunks.
