Ingredients to Make Cookie Dough Dip
You only need a few simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen to make this dip!
- Butter and cream cheese. Both should be at room temperature to make it easier to mix them together.
- Mini chocolate chips. Using the mini chocolate chips will ensure that each and every bite has a bunch of chocolate chips in it. You can chop up a chocolate bar or chop up semi-sweet chocolate chips too.
- Sugar. We'll use both brown sugar and powdered sugar. This is a dessert dip after all!
- Vanilla extract. That helps the dip taste like cookie dough.

Substitutions and Variations

- Chocolate lover’s dip. Stir in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a double chocolate cookie dough dip.
- Make it lighter! Substitute half of the butter with Greek yogurt for a lighter dip with a tangy flavor.
