5 STAR REVIEW
I served this Cookie Dough Dip for a Super Bowl party back in 2012 and it has become a go-to since. If I don’t keep making it, friends get mad! HA. I’m sharing it again today because it’s not fair to deprive anyone who doesn’t already know about it. It’ll be like winning the lottery. Well, maybe not, but it’s ridiculously fantastic.
This dip could not be easier to make, too. You simply whip all the ingredients together with a handheld electric mixer, then serve right away or chill in the refrigerator for an hour. Set this dip out along with pineapple dip, tiramisu dip, and coconut cream pie dip, and you might have permanent house guests!
What’s in this Cookie Dough Dip recipe?
You only need 7 simple ingredients for this cold dessert dip, most of which you’ll find in cookie dough! Scroll down to the recipe card below for the exact measurements.
- Cream cheese – You can use full fat or reduced fat. Softened to room temperature so it blends easily.
- Unsalted butter – This should also be softened to room temp before blending. You can use salted butter if that’s all you have on hand, just note that the dip will have a salty flavor.
- Powdered sugar – For sweetness. Avoid granulated sugar, which makes the mixture grainy.
- Brown sugar – Adds a bit of richness and touch of molasses flavor.
- Vanilla – Just a touch for nice added flavor.
- Mini chocolate chips – Mini chocolate chips add the chocolatey flavor. Make sure to use MINI chips for easily dipping
- Toffee bits – Adds a bit of crunchy texture and caramel taste.
Tips and Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese and butter. It’s necessary to let the cream cheese and butter soften to room temperature when making dips like this. Otherwise, you won’t get that soft, creamy consistency.
- No egg here! Unlike cookie dough for baked cookies, there’s no raw egg in the ingredients for this dip, so it’s perfectly safe to eat.
- Chill for a bit. Refrigeration for an hour helps the flavors blend and lose a bit of the cream cheese taste, IF you can wait that long. But serving right after blending is fine, too.
What to Serve with Cookie Dough Dip
When serving this dip at a party, I like to place the serving bowl of dip in the center of a tray surrounded by a few different dipping options for guests to choose from. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Graham crackers
- Pretzels
- Apple slices
- Sugar Cookies
Proper Storage
- Fridge. Cookie dough dip is best served the day it is prepared. However, you can keep any leftovers it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cover the serving bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing this dip.
- Serve. Let stand on the counter for 15 minutes or so to soften up, then stir if needed before serving again.

Just made this for the Super Bowl game. Delicious
I made this dip for a birthday party. It was so easy to make. It was delicious!
Hi. If i don’t have toffee bits, would I use 2 cups of mini chips? Thanks.
Sure! It won’t have that awesome toffee taste or crunch, but it’ll still be delish.
Amy, Thank you I’m going to make this recipe for Thanksgiving it looks delicious, quick and easy.
This was a huge hit with the family! Great for all ages!
This dangerously good!
can something be too good? I think this is it. Amazing!!!!!
How would this tastes leaving the toffee out ? I really don’t like it .
I forgot to buy the toffee once but now I make it without it all the time. It’s delicious!
Yum
I made this and loved it, I had this great idea to use it to frost the chocolate cake I had baked. It worked really well and tasted wonderful. Why does it say it only will last a few days. Is it because it’s so good or because of the ingredients.
Yummy!
Sooo good! Served with chocolate & honey graham crackers, looked pretty too.
For the cookie dough dip. Can you make it the night before serving or do you recommend making the day of serving. Thanks!
You can definitely make it the night before – just let it sit out for a bit before serving, otherwise it will be very stiff and difficult to dip.
I wonder how this would taste using cinnamon butter?
I have to find an event I can make this for! Couldn’t trust not eating the whole thing myself.
Can you use salted butter instead of unsalted
You can, but I wouldn’t recommend it. This dip is not meant to be salty.
I just made cc this and it’s thick ….. what did I do wrong lol
Loved this recipe. I wouldn’t advise using salted butter. Could make it a salted taste.
I’m curious if this would work low car. Switch out the brown sugar with coconut sugar and add dark chocolate morsels. Has anyone tried ?
Sooo delicious!!! Very easy to make, too!! Will definitely be making this again!
Im making this for my grandbaby’s first birthday party and was thinking of serving with cinnamon graham crackers but curious if that would be too sweet to serve with it and should i use honey graham instead? Do you recommend something else?
Hi Melanie! My preference is honey graham crackers or sliced apples, but you can use cinnamon graham crackers. It’s so sweet as is, that a little more isn’t going to matter! HA.
I want to take this to my family get together Sunday. They’re 2 1/2 hours away. Will the dip last that long of a ride or will it be ruined? Please help me asap! ?
It definitely won’t be ruined…just extremely soft. This dip is best when refrigerated and then set out at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. So if there’s a way to keep it chilled in a little portable cooler and then take it out 30 minutes before arriving, that would be ideal.
I like this dip and was wondering if you have made it as a dessert ball. I thought, after refrigeration, rolling it in wax paper to shape. Remove paper and then roll in chopped nuts, or coconut or graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate until serving. What do you think?
I don’t think the consistency is thick enough for it to hold its shape, even after refrigeration. But you can try it!
Sounds great to me! I’m a Coconut freak and love nuts too! Yummy ?
Recipe calls for 1/2 c butter, but in video it looks like one stick ==1/4 c butter. Would that be enough?
Hi Shirley. The video shows a full stick, which is 1/2 cup as written. Some sticks of butter are longer and thinner, while others are shorter and fatter. This is why I would never recommend going off the video – it’s just there as a fun visual . Thanks!
would it work with country Crock ? in the tubs
I love this dip!! I want to try the Carmel ‘APPLE’ grapes (for those who complained about the name) I have been making nothing but your recipes since I ran across my first Amy and Paul (foodstuffs) video. The salsa Verde chicken… delicious! And the chicken chimichurry (hopefully I got that right) I have to try the sliders (all of them) and your jam….well if I say all of them I’d pretty much be typing in every recipe but you get the idea ;) my fiancee and I used to watch all your videos together.
