Cookie Dough Dip
Description
This recipe begins by heat treating flour in the microwave until it reaches a safe temperature, eliminating risks associated with consuming raw flour. Cream cheese and butter softened to room temperature are whipped with sugars, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy, producing a rich and sweet base for the dip.
Cooled, sifted flour is gradually mixed in to preserve a smooth texture without lumps, and mini chocolate chips are folded throughout, adding bursts of chocolate flavor. The dip’s texture remains soft and spreadable, suitable for serving immediately or after chilling.
Recommended dippers include graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, and strawberries, providing a contrast in texture and complementing the creamy sweetness. The dip stores refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days, during which time it firms slightly and benefits from resting at room temperature and stirring before serving.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- ½ cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- ¾ cup brown sugar firmly packed (you may use either light or dark brown sugar, I personally like to use a blend of the two)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon table salt or finely ground sea salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- graham cracker classic or chocolate, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or even strawberries, recommended as favorite dippers
Instructions
- Place flour in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 10-second increments until it reaches a temperature above 160F (71C) (I use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature). Set aside and allow to cool completely.
- Combine cream cheese, butter, sugars, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy, smooth, and completely combined. If using a stand mixer, be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so cream cheese is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Sift cooled flour over the cream cheese mixture (force any lumps through the sifter with a spoon to break them up) and stir until completely combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips. Serve immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Always heat treat raw flour by microwaving until it reaches above 160°F (71°C) to reduce risk of contamination.
- Store the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; it may firm up and should be brought to room temperature and stirred before serving.
