Organize dippers on a board. Apples, grahams, pretzels, and wafers are perfect. Label bowls if feeding a crowd.
Safety first. Heat-treat the flour until it reaches 165° F ( 74° C) . Cool completely before mixing. This turns raw flour into a safe ingredient.
step-by-step Process
- Preheat oven to 350° F ( 175° C) if using oven. Spread flour thinly. Bake 5– 7 minutes until temperature hits 165° F ( 74° C) . Cool fully.
- Beat cream cheese and butter for 1– 2 minutes. Stop when light and fluffy.
- Add brown sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in cooled flour slowly. Use a spatula or low speed mixer. Texture should be thick and scoopable.
- Stir in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. Fold evenly. Add 1 tablespoon cream if needed.

Look for visual cues. Dip should hold soft peaks. Chips should stay suspended. If too loose, chill longer.
Pro Tips
Use mini chips for even bites. They give that classic studded look. Keep dairy at room temperature. Cold blocks make lumps.
Avoid overmixing the flour. Overmixing makes gummy texture. Don’t add warm flour to dairy. It will melt and thin the dip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cookie Dough Dip safe to eat raw do I really need to heat treat the flour?
Yes this Cookie Dough Dip is made safe by omitting raw eggs and heat-treating the flour, which is where most raw-flour risks come from. Heat the flour to 165°F (74°C) in the oven or microwave, let it cool completely, then add it to the chilled dairy; warming the flour or adding it hot will ruin the texture.
Treat the heat-treating step like a non-negotiable safety check, especially if you’re sharing the dip with kids or guests.
My dip is too runny or too thick how do I adjust the texture?
For a looser, scoopable dip add heavy cream or whole milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency; remember it firms up after chilling. If it’s too loose and you don’t want to chill longer, add a little more powdered sugar or a tablespoon more heat-treated flour and mix gently.
Room-temperature cream cheese and butter give the smoothest texture, so start with those to avoid lumps.
Can I make a vegan or gluten-free version of this Cookie Dough Dip?
Yes swap in a vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate chips, and replace butter with solid coconut oil or a vegan spread for a vegan version; use a monk-fruit erythritol blend if you need a low-sugar option.
For gluten-free, use heat-treated oat flour or almond flour instead of all-purpose (note the flavour and texture will change). Always heat-treat your chosen flour the same way to keep the dip safe.
How long will Cookie Dough Dip keep in the fridge, and can I freeze leftovers?
Store the dip airtight in the refrigerator for up to 4 5 days; it actually tastes better after a few hours as the flavours meld, so it’s great to make-ahead of a party.
Freezing isn’t recommended because the dairy and chips can change texture and separate, but if you must freeze, use a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the fridge, then stir gently.
Always bring the dip back to room temperature for 10 15 minutes before serving for easiest scooping.
What should I serve with Cookie Dough Dip for a party or movie night?
Classic dippers include sliced apples and pears, graham crackers, shortbread, vanilla wafers, pretzels and salty crackers the sweet-and-salty contrast is brilliant for a party spread.
For a British twist, try serving with shortbread fingers or digestive biscuits alongside a pot of tea or a cold glass of milk; provide small spreaders and keep extra dippers on the side so guests can return for seconds without dirtying the main bowl.
