This velvety, indulgent cookie dough dip turns everyone's favorite off-limits snack—unbaked cookie dough—into a scrumptious, egg-free sweet treat that's completely safe to dig into. Great for get-togethers or weekday indulgences, this no-cooking-required gem brings all those nostalgic flavors without any safety concerns.

I first threw this together during my kid's overnight party when I needed something fast that would wow a group of fussy preteens. They didn't just finish it—they cleaned the bowl completely, and I got messages from three different parents the following day wanting to know how to make it.

The tiny chocolate chips really make this dip special. I tried it once with standard-sized chips and my little nephew complained he couldn't get chocolate in every spoonful. The mini ones spread out just right, giving you that genuine cookie dough feel that brings a nostalgic smile to everyone's face.

Serving Suggestions

When you're hosting something fancy, set up a little dipping bar with small dishes of extra goodies like colorful sprinkles, broken toffee pieces, or chopped nuts so everyone can build their perfect bite. This hands-on element always becomes the star of any dessert spread.

Storage Tips

If you want to make this way ahead of time, you can stick it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just put it in a freezer-safe container with plastic wrap pushed right against the surface to keep it fresh. Let it thaw in your fridge overnight and give it a good mix before serving to bring back its smooth texture.

Variations To Try

For seasonal gatherings, mix in timely additions like smashed candy canes at Christmas, a bit of orange zest and cinnamon for autumn parties, or fun colored sprinkles for birthday bashes. Each twist keeps that beloved creamy base while bringing new taste adventures.

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 1/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted

04 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
05 1/3 cup brown sugar
06 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

Step 01

Grab a large bowl and mix together the butter, vanilla, cream cheese, brown sugar, and salt using a hand mixer on a low setting. Keep going until you have a smooth mix.

  1. For the best results, let the cream cheese and butter come to room temperature before mixing.
