I love to eat chocolate chip cookies so much, but tend to eat the cookie dough by the spoonful. I know we aren’t supposed to eat raw cookie dough, but I’m a bit of a risk taker.

This dessert dip is so yummy and tastes like cookie dough! It’s a favorite of mine to take to parties.

  • It’s egg free and flour free, so you can eat it safely.
  • Just 6 ingredients needed!
  • Cream cheese and butter replace some of your basic cookie ingredients to make this yummy cookie dough dip. 
  • Add some of your favorite mix-ins to make a fun party dessert.

Ingredient Notes

Ingredients needed to make cookie dough dip.
  • Butter – We prefer to use unsalted butter in our baking recipes, and no salt is needed for this dip. Especially when serving with salty pretzels!
  • Vanilla Extract – Provides a depth of flavor to the dip. Be sure to use pure vanilla extract, not imitation. Or try making our homemade vanilla extract!
  • Cream Cheese – Use full fat regular cream cheese for best consistency and creaminess. And be sure it’s softened!
  • Chocolate Chips – I prefer the texture of mini chocolate chips in the dip, however regular chocolate chips are fine if that’s all you have.

This cookie dough dip only takes about 5 minutes to make. So grab your ingredients and let’s get started!

  • Step 1. Make butter mixture. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add in brown sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves. When the mixture starts to bubble, set it aside to cool. Whisk in vanilla extract.
  • Step 2. Make cream cheese mixture. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy.
  • Step 3. Combine. Add in the cooled butter and sugar mixture.
  • Step 4. Add in mini chocolate chips. Stir the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until well incorporated.

That’s it! Serve this dip with pretzels, animal crackers, graham sticks, whatever you wish.

Tips and Tricks

  • Let the butter mixture cool completely while you beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Only add the butter mixture to the cream cheese once its fully cooled.
  • You can customize your mix-ins for this cookie dough to your tastes. I prefer using milk chocolate chips and mini milk chocolate chips, because that’s how I make my chocolate chip cookies, but you could just as easily add in white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, nuts, or candy bits like sprinkles, M&M’s or Reese’s Pieces.
  • Some cookie dough dips call for raw flour, which can be heat treated for extra caution. This recipe doesn’t use flour, so it’s one less step and no need to worry about food safety.
  • Since this recipe doesn’t have raw eggs, it is safe to eat as is, but don’t try to bake this dough into cookies. If you have a craving for baked cookies, check out all of my cookie recipes. There are many to choose from and they are absolutely delicious!

Recipe FAQs

How can I serve cookie dough dip?

This recipe is great served as a dip with crackers (such as animal crackers or graham crackers), pretzels, cookies (Oreos, Nilla wafers, shortbread cookies, etc), fresh fruit (apple slices and strawberries are favorites) or just enjoy it with a spoon!

How do I store Cookie Dough Dip?

This dip can be stored, in a covered container, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to let it sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before eating. (It will firm up in the fridge, and letting it sit out will allow it to return to a creamy, spreadable consistency.)

Can I freeze cookie dough dip?

Yes! You can freeze this dip in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it, let it thaw completely before eating.

  1. Interesting stuff to read. BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe.
    The recipe is super easy to make, perfectly soft and chewy and buttery
    Thank you for sharing this recipe.

  2. I’m not sure this would last very long around my kiddos! I need to make sure I get my fair share before they devour it. 

  3. My friends absolutely RAVE over this dip, and I don’t blame them. If only they knew I ate about 1/4 of it before I bring it to the parties. LOL!

  4. I dont think that this literally taste like cookie dough. I havent found a recipe for this that does taste like it. If anyone knows of a recipe that does really taste like it let me know or post it. Thanks

    1. Being a dip, you need to have it a little bit lighter. I do have a frosting that tastes even closer to cookie dough, maybe try that recipe (you can certainly serve it as a dip!) https://www.shugarysweets.com/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-cupcakes

    1. It’s addicting, for sure! Just make it when you have company over, that way everyone indulges and there are guaranteed to be NO leftovers!

  5. I’ve made that same cheeseball you’re talking about! I LOVED it but it was a little much work, so I’ll definitely be trying your version. I loved eating gingersnaps and graham crackers with mine.

  6. So yummy! You had the most clicks from our linky party & win free advertising on our blog! Come and join us tomorrow….grab a button & link up your latest & greatest!

  7. My mouth is already watering…your photo is sooo inviting! Thanks for sharing this simple recipe with this wild-about-cream-cheese fan!

  8. I have been seeing this recipe around on the internet for about a year now. And I have always wanted to try it. The only reason I don’t is because I am afraid I will eat the whole thing myself. But the holidays are coming up and the get togethers will start so I think it will be a good time to try it.

  9. this sounds delicious for an awesome treat to share with the girls over movies thanks for sharing come see what I shared at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
