The Hardest part is choosing your flavor!!!!

Cookie Dough Dip (Base)

makes about 1 1/2 cups

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

*Add ins for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip:
3/4 C Chocolate Chips

*Add ins for Snickerdoodles Cookie Dough Dip:
2 T Cinnamon

*Add ins for Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip:
1/2 C Peanut Butter and 1/2 C Chocolate Chips

* Add ins for Chocolate Fudge Cookie Dough Dip:
1/2 C cocoa powder and 1/2 C Chocolate Chips


Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to bubble. Set aside to cool, and whisk in vanilla.

Cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar for 60 seconds. With mixer on low speed, add in brown sugar and butter mixture. Mix until combined. I added the chocolate chips at this time so the mixer could break them up into pieces. You can so that, or just fold in the chocolate chips.

Garnish with additional chopped chocolate. Serve with sliced fruit, cookies, crackers, pretzels or a spoon.Whatever your heart delights in!

You can make the base and then make THREE dips out of one batch. Simply use these measurements after dividing the base Dough Dip into thirds... roughly 1/2 C each.
