Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip is the perfect dessert for cookie dough lovers! So rich, creamy, and chock full of chocolate chips and toffee! Whether or not you indulge in cookie dough when you’re baking, you’ll fall hard for this sweet dip recipe!
This Cookie Dough Recipe makes an irresistible Dessert Dip! Great for game day or casual gatherings.
Why You Must Make
If you love cookie dough as much as cookies, you’ll go crazy for this dessert dip!
- There are no raw eggs like in standard cookie dough, so it’s safe to eat.
- The raw flour can be cooked so it is safe to eat, too. It can contain e-coli bacteria which can bring on very unpleasant symptoms.
- PRO-Tip: Spread your flour on a baking sheet and place in a preheated 350º oven for 5 minutes. The flour should reach 160º which is hot enough to kill the bacteria.
- It’s absolutely irresistible and tastes a heck of a lot like chocolate chip cookie dough!
How to Make
There are gobs of dessert dip recipes around the web. This Dunkaroo Dip is basically 3 ingredients! Can you see why this category of sweets is so popular???
This cookie dough recipe is simple and fabulous.
- Blend soft butter and cream cheese, sugars, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add Heath bar chunks and chocolate chips, and stir by hand to combine.
- Serve with Biscoff cookies and apple slices.
Expert Tips
This is one of the easiest desserts you’ll ever make! It’s just as appropriate for a girls’ night out as it is for game day (you need to balance out all those salty chips and dips!). A group of our neighbors spent the weekend at a historic hotel south of Indianapolis, and I brought along this chocolate chip cookie dough dip for our midnight snack. My friends went nuts for it!
Here are a couple of hints for making this dessert dip.
- PRO-Tip: Make sure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature. It will be much easier to mix if they’re not fresh from the refrigerator.
- I like to buy whole Heath Bars and chop them myself. If you’d prefer, you can buy bagged toffee bits.
- You can serve it with any cookie to use as a dipper. Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, chocolate wafers, and even homemade cookies will work.
- I also like to offer sturdy fruit slices like apples or pears for a slightly healthier option. And if you’re a sweet and salty fan, try pretzel knots or snaps!
Frequently Asked Questions
We make it healthier to eat than regular cookie dough by eliminating the chance of food poisoning from raw eggs or raw flour. But it’s a high-calorie, high-fat treat, so it’s not considered healthy, just safer.
Do not use raw eggs in your dip. Instead, the combination of cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla comes close to the texture of raw dough. Do not use raw flour. This cookie dough dip doesn’t contain flour, but this is another reason not to indulge in regular cookie dough. But this cookie dough dip IS safe.
PRO-Tip: If wanting to eat regular cookie dough, cooking the flour first will make it safe. Spread your flour on a baking sheet and place it in a preheated 350º oven for 5 minutes. The flour should reach 160º which is hot enough to kill the bacteria.
Cookies make great dippers. Biscoff cookies, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, chocolate chip cookies and more will work well. Firm fruit like apples can be sliced for a healthy dipping option.
With cream cheese as an ingredient, cookie dough dip should not be left out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours. After that, cover and keep in the refrigerator.
It should freeze well, though I haven’t tested it. Freeze for up to 2 months in an airtight container, and defrost overnight in the refrigerator.
As long as there is no double-dipping going on, which could contaminate the dip, it should be safe to consume for up to 4 days. Note that if it was left at room temperature for longer than 2 hours, it should be tossed.
Yes, this recipe is easily adaptable. Replace the toffee bits with M&Ms or other small candies, sprinkles, or even crushed cookies. Just use your imagination!

So into dips for night ime snacking!!!!!!! So pinned accordingly! 🙂
My kids couldn’t stop eating this!! So good and easy to make!
What a lovely fall dip. I can see, I mean, hear this dip calling my name from the refrigerator every time I walked by. I also love cookie dough, always have so this dip would be right up my alley too.
This cookie looks so delicious – perfect quite dessert for the holiday season (Or all year round.) And it’s also super versatile, so you can use whatever toppings you fancy.
I am convinced this is easier to get addicted to than most illegal drugs! So so so good!
This is so fantastic! Just hand me a spoon and I’ll be happy!
This cookie dough dip looks ahhmazing! Such a fun party dip for the holidays!
I have made a slightly different version of this but it was only chocolate chip. I love the addition of the Heath bars for that extra flavor!
I love cookie dough in any form, so this may need to be made in my home very soon!
Can you believe I’ve never made or indulged in cookie dough dip? Shameful I know and it’s high time I did something about it!
Don’t think I could wait until midnight to dip into this scrumptious cookie dough yumminess…Biscoff is a grrrrreat choice!
You had me at chocolate chunks!
This looks like a huge crowd pleaser, Liz!
Good God, Woman! Is this breakfast, lunch dinner or snack? Well it coud be everything, at least until I’m finished!
Love this so much!
What a fun recipe Liz…I am loving the idea of dipping cookies into this chocolate chip cookie dip…fantastic!
Have a wonderful week 🙂
I think I consume more cookie dough than I do actual baked cookies these days 😉 glad for a safe excuse to do exactly that. Thanks, Liz!
When I get to full on diet mode, there is not much that I break my diet for… this is one of those things! Haha… looking mighty delicious! Thanks for sharing! <3 – http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
This sounds like a fantastic midnight snack! How fun. I imagine this would disappear quickly in my house.
Oh WOW that sounds and looks amazingly dangerous! Love the bowl you are serving this in too!
Thanks for bringing this one back around – I need to try it for our next gathering. So easy and it sounds delicious. FUN!
I love the idea of using the cookie batter as a dip! Very original!
OK my comment is still there from 2012 lol, and I was still Cheap Ethnic Eatz, weird to see. And liek this recipe just as much now as I did back then. I feel I would need to pair with apples for a healthier option.
Yes please, this sounds like the perfect midnight snack to me!
I’ve been thinking about you Liz, now that the Packers are out of the play, I’m so, so, so sorry. But at least you get your house back!
JT always glares at me when I eat cookie dough…we did this all the time as kids (and maybe even every now and then) and never got sick. I’m afraid I would love this a little too much and there would be no one else to share it with.
I believe cookie dough dip will have to be made when lots of people are coming over or I’d eat it all. I too love cookie dough. No eye rolling. 🙂
A nice sweet dip for the Super Bowl:@)
I really want this right now! I love that you added Heath bar!!! Yum, Hugs, Terra
This sounds simply wonderful Liz! WOW! Who knew just a few simple ingredients could come together to create such a wonderful treat? I’m going to make this soon but I’m a little nervous. I think I may eat the whole thing all by myself!
wow amazing.. i will skip using it as a dip and eat them by the spoonfuls 🙂

Oh, wow, Lizzy! I have never seen a cookie dough dip before. This is a must try!
What a great idea! Looks yummy 🙂
I’ve seen dips like this but haven’t tried any yet–looks so good! I also like how you made it look like a cheese ball.
Haha, what an awesome idea – this is to cookies like hummus is to falafel! I’m just loving the idea of serving cookies with a cookie-dough dip… SO cool 😀
o wow! This looks dangerous.. I don’t even think I’d need those apple slices, just a spoon please 🙂 I have to try this out, I love your idea!
What a great idea! THANKS for sharing.

Yes, yes! I’d like some now!
Mmm cookie dough dip sounds so delicious as I love cookie dough ice cream. What a great recipe. Thanks for sharing 😀
This is the perfect party dessert! Makes you want to say “why didn’t I think if that”…so glad you shared!
Mmm, this looks like I could eat it all myself. I just hope your sacrifice doesn’t weaken your salmonella immunity 🙂
I think I might like cookie dough even more than I like the baked cookies, a dip is like a bowl of heaven to me!
This is the best thing ever – hands down. Love it!
Great idea, Lizzy. Presentation is stunning, I couldn’t take my eyes from it!
You are killing me here… Great idea!
I love the idea of cookie dough dip, so good with either apples or biscotti, yum!
This kind of cookies dip is awesome!! It is simply beautiful and presentable!
Oh wow! This looks simply amazing. A brilliant idea and perfectly presented too! Yum! 🙂
cookie dough dip?! sounds like heaven!
Hi Liz,
Such a beautiful presentation. Looks like an easy recipe and sure to be a crowd pleaser. Would love to try it.
This is so right on sooo many levels… I couldn’t give up cookie dough. It’s one of my reasons for living!
Awww… Poor meatloaf. 🙁
I’ve actually only had decent meatloaf once or twice before so I look forward to seeing your recipe.
This is a great thing especially when you want to make something with less effort 🙂
Looks yumm. nice presentation too. I am sure visitros would love this dip! thanks for sharing! =)
just saw that you followed my blog, thank you so much!
This dip looks “dangerous”! Once I start eating this, I don’t think that I would stop. What a great entertaining idea.
Liz – as soon as I saw the post I knew it was your sacrifice! The dip look amazing and what delicious late night snack for you and your friends! Best of luck for the next 40 days!
Lizzy, when I first saw the picture I was “no way” thinking that it was really cookie dough 🙂
This dip sure looks and sounds awesome…
Hope you are having a wonderful week!
Cookie dough you’re supposed to eat raw? Sounds wonderful to me! This is a great idea for a party. I can’t think of anyone would could resist cookie dough.
Your waistline will probably be happy the next several weeks. Good luck!
This is a wicked dip and I so want, to be wicked with it.
Giving up cookie dough, you are a brave woman! I would totally miss it! This dip sounds wonderful and glad you could indulge one last time before saying goodbye for 40 days :)!
hey dear..every day u made awesome and tsty recipes….ur clicks are awsome..i loved ur presentation..
Oh wow, now this is a recipe. I’m having a dinner party this weekend and I could see everyone gorging themselves on this. I’m printing this off now.
Cookies dipped in cookie dough, sounds delicious. No flour and eggs in this one, I guess we can indulge without worrying about salmonella.
BTW I misunderstood the eating between meals fasting, now I know what you meant. When I read it, it seems half of my brain cells were hibernating!
And I thought that’s a cookie ice cream hahaha Delicious !!! Gorgeous presentation , too !
Yum, yum, and yum! I could take a scoop of this each day as a special treat to myself. I think I would just go in with a spoon…not classy but I would do it without the friends part.
Cookie dough dip would last five minutes here. Do you know I was in my 40’s when I learned that you could have what you gave up for Lent on Sundays? (Thanks to my savvy children) Gave up politics! And still thinking about giving up carbs… and love, love the sweet photo at the end! Just fun!
Dip looks insane! Any excuse to eat cookie dough is a good one!
Hmm, I can see how this dip would delight! Lovely idea!
love, love, love this, Liz. I’m a sucker for cookie dough!
Oh, I so badly want to make this for Hubby. I made him get off the raw cookie dough thing when we got married because he has enough stomach issues already. This will enable him to have his cake and eat it too (per se). Thank you for improvising your Lenten season and coming up with this!
Oh my! This dip looks amazing, Lizzy! I think I could just eat it with a spoon!
Drooolll! This sounds amazing! I’ve been wanting to try a similar recipe since January (I’m a little behind)! But I love the heathbar addition, I need to get on making this stat!
I honestly haven’t tried cookie dough dip! Poor me…can’t believe what I’ve been missing!
It looks like you had a great time with your girlfriends–and I love how this dip looks like an old-fashioned cheese ball! I’m sure it is very tasty…could be a good dish for an Oscars party this weekend.
O-M-G!! I’m not one for raw cookie dough personally, so I’m glad you got ride of the eggs. Now I need to come up with a reason to make this where I won’t be the only one eating it! =)
holy cow, this looks AMAZING!!
I adore cookie dough dip, but have not tried it with heath toffee, yum!
I have been planning to make this dip for a long time – your delicious mouthwatering pictures are just egging me on 😀
Yum!
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Good for you to find a cookie dough substitute!! I would definitely dig into this dip–although I must admit I have never eaten raw cookie dough. Are you gasping, Lizzy? Well, since I never really baked cookies there wasn’t much cookie dough around. LOL! I have not decided what I am going to give up yet for Lent… maybe what I need to give up is “laziness” and start exercising again. That would be a win-win. 🙂
Yum! This is one amazing cookie dough dip recipe, Lizzy! Have a great day!
OMG what a killer and dangerous recipe. Who does not love eat cookie dough. The presentation is gorgeous too.
I have never made a dip like this…totally intrigued!
Cool ladies..
Cookie dough dip! Wow! What a wonderful idea and your presentation of it is just beautiful. Great item to serve at any gathering in my books.
That cookie dough is one of the most unique and tempting things I’ve seen since I started to blog. It looks so delicious, like ice-cream and lovely presentation as always. You’re not only a versatile cook and baker, you’re extremely creative with your presentation as well.
Oh YUMM! And the biscoff cookies are so, so enticing on top of that 🙂 Great, enticing recipe.
I saw this recipe! It looks so fantastic and I love that it is egg-free.
Wow, I can see why this dip was a hit! I have never been big into eating cookie dough, but know a few people in my family that go nuts over it. In fact I freeze cookie dough in balls so Mr. Hubby can eat it straight out of the freezer. 🙂 I’ll save this one for our next gathering. Yum!
Love the photo of you and your friends! I’ve never had a sweet dip so I’m having trouble picturing whether or not I’d like it. But I wouldn’t insult you by not trying it at your party 🙂
PS regarding the Google change, as far as I can see they still have not made a decision on if they will roll over friends if you are set up with blogger, so I am playing the waiting game. Hopefully they will.
When I first saw the title, I thought this would be a watery type thing, I was delighted to find it to be the sturdy texture that it is! Definitely something that would disappear quickly at a party. Tasty post!
Good move to bump meatloaf in favor of cookie dough. 😉 Amazing, as always, Liz.
Now that is my kind of late night snack!
I saw your tweet this morning for the Cookie Dough dip and I went to the store bought the heath bars and made the dip. Just waiting for the flavors to meld a little bit before I dip my cookies in. I have company coming soon so I thought I’d try the recipe first 😉
OMG, bookmarked! Totally making this over the weekend!
This is so much better than meatloaf! I think this would be so great for a kids or teens party, too.
Lovely pic that you posted Lizzy. Just like your friends, I am also going nuts with this cookie dough dip. However, this is totally a new discovery to me and wow! something new on food to add to my knowledge.
I’m totally unlike you, Lizzie, I think I’ve never tasted anything while cooking or baking 🙂
PS love the bottom pic, you gals look very regal on that chair 🙂
Giving up cookie dough for Lent?
I must try that, too. I’m sure it will be good for our waistline. Ah, I love food;-)
I am all over this one Liz. Yumola!!! You’ve given me lots of ideas.
darn, I gain 5 pounds just reading your posts 😉
I never have cookie dough dip,but the whole plate looks so tempting 🙂
Ridwan
Giving up cookie dough for lent? You must be incredibly strong! My favourite part of baking is sneaking extra spoonfullls of batter. I’ve never made a cookie dough dip before, but this sounds just like my thing. Yum!
Love the photo of you! Wow you all look relaxed and having fun!
The dip sounds like the kids would really love this at a party…. I am sure.. I am not a fan of sweet dips but I would sure give this a dip… who can resist.. can you believe I have never eaten raw cookie dough ever… for you to eat it raw is telling me its time lol! must be great!
My Sister just was talking about a cookie dough dip, I will have to show her this recipe:-) It looks, and sounds way too yummy! 🙂 Hugs, Terra
Liz…you know how to put a smile on my face, as I could probably eat more cookie dough than cookies. This is my kind of treat!
Oh Wow! I have given up sweets and alcohol for Lent. This is totally making me wish I hadn’t given up those sweets, man!
I had no idea something like cookie dip existed! It looks gorgeous and the idea of a double sweet treat (cookie+dip) is very appealing. Lovely photo!
Lizzy ….this looks so good. I’m having a gathering next week and for sure I’m making this.Everything looks so perfect.
Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Nice pic of you and your friends.!
Oh dear, oh dear…I feel it calling me….
