Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip.
Go put on your stretchy pants.
Seriously. Do it now.
Some days, I find that certain recipes speak to me. Better-Than-Crack-Brownies, Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles, Cake Batter Bark… those things excite me. This only has happened a handful of times and when I find or create a delicious recipe that I am so passionate about, I can hardly wait to share it with all of you. After all, these recipes wouldn’t be as much fun without you.
This is the situation I found myself in late Monday evening. Sometimes, the best recipes come from you. Never hesitate to tell me about them! A reader, Amber, emailed me to share this delicious recipe. I nearly fell off my chair.
Or the couch from which I was laying on after eating 16 snickerdoodles. It happens.
I couldn’t wait to make it. In fact, I nearly got my rump off the couch and whipped it up at 10:00 pm. But then I remembered that I would want to photograph this amazing creation. And then I also remembered that I would be left all by my lonesome with this dip. It would be close to midnight. I would be in sweatpants. I would eat until my heart was content. I would never fall sleep. I would want to face-plant into cookie dough dip.
I decided to wait.
You can only imagine what I did first thing yesterday morning. I don’t even think I’ve bounded out of bed like that for freshly fried bacon.
So let’s hit all the major points:
1. Super simple (and fast!) to make? Check.
2. Easy enough that you most likely have the ingredients in your house right now? Check. (hint, hint… breakfast!)
3. Freakishly delicious and pants-popping? Double check.
I served it with animal crackers, but for the last 36 hours all I’ve been thinking about are more delectable dippers that would be fabulous. Graham crackers, Nilla Wafers, juicy apples, salty pretzels, homemade cookies, cinnamon sugar pita chips… the list goes on and on. Pick your poison.
Or you can do dirty things like eat it with a spoon.
Cookie Dough Dip
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 8- ounce block of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to bubble. Set aside to cool, and whisk in vanilla.
- Cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar for 60 seconds. With mixer on low speed, add in brown sugar and butter mixture. Mix until combined. I added the chocolate chips at this time so the mixer could break them up into pieces. You can so that, or just fold in the chocolate chips.
- Garnish with additional chopped chocolate. Serves with fruit, cookies, crackers, pretzels or a spoon.

Oh! I almost left out the most important piece of the recipe that Amber shared. Cookie dough dip “has zero calories when eaten with friends.”
I think I love this girl.

Thanks for commenting!
Your blog makes me so, so happy. I can’t wait to make this. I’m making cake batter bark this weekend!
Thank you! That’s such a sweet compliment.
Oh my. It sounded good, but I wasn’t sold until the picture of the dip on the cookie. Then I swooned.
Looks so delish!
My aunt makes a similar cannoli dip! Love this! Which goes great with vanilla waffers, animal crackers, oreos, bare fingers…whatever. :)
Cannoli dip?! Amazing!
Whoever invented this should be Sainted! Thanks so much for spreading the word! :)
I think I’ve found my new favorite food blog. The items you listed and made in this post made me want to go buy stretchy pants. I HATE stretchy pants. I am so making every thing you mentioned in this post this weekend. That could be dangerous for my health huh? But not if I share with friends!
Thanks Arez!
Jessica, are you trying to kill me?! This looks amazing, I just made your cookie dough truffles and they are great. I made them for a party I am having this Saturday and I might have to make this as well. It can be considered healthy if I eat it with fruit right…?
Definitely!
OMG. that looks insanely good. i wish you could taste things through the computer screen.
PS Jessica – I am starting my own blog, and your recipes have been such inspiration, so thank you!!
Congrats on starting your blog!
Wow. This is my first experience reading your blog and I am completely hooked! Your taste in recipes and your astounding writing ability will have me coming back for more, thank you!!
Thank you so much Serena!
i want to dip double stuffed oreo cookies in that dip.
I’m with her.
Let’s do it.
and… I found my work potluck dish!
…it’s the thought that counts… right?
For sure!
I made it and didn’t eat it all…
let’s hope the troops like it. I wouldn’t say what I was making only “it’s not my fault if you gain 10lbs tomorrow!”
Your blog is quickly becoming the number one most viewed page in my browser
:-)
Thank you so much Megan!
AHHH this looks amazing!!! My husband loooves cookie dough, so I always set aside a little bit of dough for my husband whenever I make a batch of cookies. This would not last long in our household!
And… I said “my husband” twice in that sentence. YIKES! The amazingness of the cookie dip has turned my brain into pudding :)
Argh!!! So delicious!!! I gotta make this right away!!!
*droooooool*
That is all.
I’m dying a little inside because I’m not eating this right now. Tomorrow is my birthday…and I’m eating this for breakfast. Heck. Yeah.
Happy birthday!
Cookie dough dip? Yes, please.
Oh this is mouthwatering!!
How long do you think this will last in the fridge? As in…can I make it a day ahead to bring to a friends?
Yes definitely. I still have a little in the fridge and it is great. I would just try to let it sit out for about 30 minutes before serving,
I always have my stretchy pants on!
That is sooooo wrong! I love it! I’m dreaming up all of the fabulous things I will dip in it when I make it (which I absolutely will)… Pretzels are pretty high up on my list right now.

I shared your recipe with my baking instructor this morning (I have baking rotation from 7-10am) and after cleaning the drool off of our chins, she and I were in complete agreement… your dip became our breakfast! God bless your sweet SWEET soul <3
That is awesome! Thanks!
This is so naughty! I love that you served it with animal crackers!
I think you’ve officially blown my mind with this dip!!! This would be fantastic to serve at a party… great of the munchies!

This is incredible! I could eat the whole bowl in one sitting, no joke. My seams are stretching just thinking about it :)
I am going to put that on my turkey.
My daughter sent me the link to your blog and suggested I make this for my staff Christmas party. I made it last night and it was a big hit. Someone else brought what they called a “Chocolate Cheesecake Ball,” which was all of the same ingredients, but the brown sugar was not cooked with the butter, everything was just added together. Hers looked and tasted completely different. Hers was white, and mine was the creamy brown color.Mine had a caramel taste to it, due to the brown sugar being melted with the better. I served it with pretzel dipping sticks and vanilla wafers. Delicious! Thanks for this recipe!
I am definitely going to try this recipe for my work pot-luck this week!!

Ohhh my gawwwwwwd!!!!!!!!!!
I’m counting on you to veganize this! Think it can be done?
Tofutti for the cream cheese, Earth Balance for the buttah and Enjoy Life Foods-soy free dairy free choc chips for the choc chips. maybe?? I need to stock up on Tofutti at TJ’s and hope that the walmart by my work has Earth Balance like the walmarts down in florida do….. Must. Try. It.
Yes! You must and then report back.
it was YUMMY!!!! I did as stated: Earth Balance for the buttah and Tofutti for the cream cheese. I don’t have a mixer right now, so I put the softened tofutti/powdered sugah in my Magic Bullet, and added the Earth Balance/bron sugah combo to it. it took a little bit to get it whirring, but I pulsed it so that it worked. I folded in the
Enjoy Life chocolate chips and stuck it in the fridge til I went to my cousins. It was so good. I brought 1/2 the batch to work yesterday & we ate it almost all up. my co-worker thinks it would be better w/real cream cheese, but I prefer the Tofutti. I’m not 100% vegan, but i try to limit my cheese consumption and replaced all regular milk w/alternates in my house years ago since my husb is dairy allergic.
Awesome!!
awwww man, just when you think it’s safe to read blogs. Girly, I need the cookie dough dip that makes ya lose your extra holiday bingeing rolls.
