- Brown sugar: Sweetens things up with that classic cookie dough flavor.

(Note: The full ingredient measurements are provided in the recipe card directly below.)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Cream Cheese and Butter
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. This will be the base for your dip.
Step 2: Add the Sugar and Vanilla
Mix in the brown sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is combined and smooth. You’ll start to smell that sweet cookie dough fragrance filling the air—so tempting!
Step 3: Stir in the Flour
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, mixing until it’s fully incorporated. The flour helps thicken the dip and gives it that doughy texture without the need for raw eggs.
Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. You can add as many as you like for an extra chocolaty bite!
Step 5: Serve
Once everything is mixed together, transfer the dip to a serving bowl. It’s ready to go! Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, fruit, or cookies for dipping.

Additional Tips
Here are some extra tips to make your Cookie Dough Dip even more amazing:
Chill It for a Thicker Consistency
If you prefer a thicker dip, refrigerate the dip for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up a bit and makes it even more scoopable!
Experiment with Add-Ins
This dip is super versatile, so feel free to add in your favorite ingredients! Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even mini M&M’s can be a fun addition to the dip.
Make It Dairy-Free
To make this dip dairy-free, use non-dairy cream cheese and butter substitutes. You can also swap out regular chocolate chips for dairy-free ones.
Use Raw Flour Safely
To ensure the flour is safe to eat, you can bake it for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) on a baking sheet or microwave it for about 1 minute. This step is optional but adds an extra layer of safety for those who are cautious about raw flour.
Double the Recipe
If you’re serving a large crowd or just really love this dip (I wouldn’t blame you!), consider doubling the recipe to ensure you have plenty for everyone.
