I’m not proud of my snacking behavior this week.

My New Year’s resolution was to stop skipping breakfast, and unless you count milky tea, I have definitely broken my resolution. There was the morning I had 3 dates for breakfast (dates, as in the dried fruit, not awkward meet-ups). The next morning, one slice of melting sweet potatoes. And I’m afraid I sunk as low as leftover cold tater tots yesterday morning.

And as the saying goes, if you skip breakfast, your eating habits quickly decline for the rest of the day as well. While I should probably be more concerned, I just can’t because this delicious, creamy edible cookie dough dip is the result of some wayward sliding eating habits.

It is so very good and worth all the things. This edible cookie dough for one is the happy result. It’s meant for dipping and eating raw.

I need to know: what’s your cookie dough behavior? When you make chocolate chip cookies, what ratio of dough actually makes it into the oven? I’m afraid I’m good for about one cookie’s worth of dough on my spoon, raw. I lack the patience to wait for the warm cookies to come out of the oven. Plus, cold creamy cookie dough is pure comfort for me.

This dip has all the lovely components of cookie dough, but a bit softer and more dip-able! You can dip pretzels for that sweet-salty thang, or you can dip vanilla wafers. I switch off–one pretzel, one cookie, and then suddenly, the whole ramekin is gone.

Small bowls with brown sugar, chocolate chips, and butter.
  • Unsalted butter – If you only have salted butter, that’s fine, too–just omit the salt called for in the recipe.
  • Cream cheese – Take this out of the fridge and let it soften on the counter for 30 minutes.
  • Granulated sugar – To make it sweet, of course!
  • Brown sugar – Light or dark brown sugar both work here.
  • Vanilla extract – For that classic chocolate chip cookie flavor
  • Salt – Don’t underestimate how important this salt is for balance.
  • Mini Chocolate Chips – Just 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips. If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, you can chop up a chocolate bar.

I had a cookie dough craving, and I solved it without eating a ton of cookie dough. And for that, I should get a medal, don’t you think? I hope this helps you cure a craving!

This recipe makes one small bowl of edible cookie dough dip for one. For those of us that cannot be trusted around cookie dough, small batch treats are a gift. If you’re looking for the baked variety, try my chocolate chip cookies without eggs.

Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature so that everything mixes together smoothly.

  1. Beat all of the ingredients together except for the mini chocolate chips.

2. Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand. Pile the dough into a small bowl, and serve with salty and sweet dippers.

You should serve this with whatever you like to dip! My favorite is salty pretzels because I love the salty and sweet combination! I also like to dip vanilla wafers, sugar crisp wafers, dried banana chips, sugar cookies, and of course, crispy chocolate chip cookies! I actually think you haven’t lived unless you’ve spread cookie dough dip between two crispy chocolate chip cookies, and eaten it like a sweet sandwich.

And yes, if you’re a better person than me, you can easily double this recipe and share it with someone on the couch during a Netflix marathon.

I just don’t have it in me to share this; it’s really meant for one–sorry!

Don’t skip breakfast, or you’ll end up like me, with a plate full of dip and dippers. Well, maybe you wanna be a little like me? :)

    This sounds like the perfect snack, or breakfast. I always eat the raw cookie dough. Quality control and all. I love that this recipe doesn’t have flour in it. I am always a little leery about eating raw flour or feeding it to the kids. They will love this too, if it makes it to the table. I might have to double it or hide it on them. :-) Thanks for the recipe.

    1. Rachel says:

      But this “small” serving is nearly 940 calories – not including the dippers!! This is terrible for a quick snack or breakfast! It’s almost an entire day’s worth of calories.

      1. Annette says:

        How do you get to that total?

        1. Sheron says:

          Put the ingredients into MyFitnessPal – I said a recipe was 2 servings and it was 416 per serving. 416+416=932. This doesn’t include pretzels or fruit.

            Thanks for the heads-up. I was going to enter it into MFP…. think I will pass!!!

          2. Christina Lane says:

            Your loss.

          3. Jessica says:

            This isn’t a healthy food blog – your comment is unnecessary. If you haven’t even made it, there’s no reason for you to comment! This recipe looks delicious and plenty of people splurge once in awhile on a yummy snack. Does Christina look unhealthy? Didn’t think so. I plan on making this during the coming week and I’m sure it will be delicious!

  2. Jenna in MA says:

    Love that there’s no flour! I was reading that raw flour has the potential for e. coli. Eeeeeek.

    I will probably be making this tonight.

    1. Christina Lane says:

      Yep, Jenna! I’ve also seen recipes where you can heat the flour in the microwave to a certain temperature to kill any potential bacteria in the flour. Just in case you have a cookie dough recipe you’ve been wanting to try that has flour :)

  3. Aimee says:

    Oh my. I think I’m going to attempt to smuggle this into the movie theater tonight with me. Wish me luck!

    1. Christina Lane says:

      haha, Aimee! I like your style :)

  4. Julie says:

    Let’s see. Handsome husband. Beautiful baby girl. A job I would kill for. Successful. Beautiful lady, inside and out. Cookie dough dip. Christina, I don’t want to be a little like you. I want to be a lot like you.

    1. Christina Lane says:

      You are so sweet, Julie :) Thank you.

  5. Liz | Flour de Liz says:

    Yes! The small batch is perfect for someone with no self control around cookie dough ;)

  6. RossC says:

    Darnit Jeannie… Stop dipping into my cookie dough!!!

    Welp… I won’t have to say that anymore… I’m making this for her… :O)

  7. Pamela @BrooklynFarmGirl says:

    Raw cookie dough is just so addictive ???? This looks yummy and is a great alternative????

  8. Brooke says:

    Wondering if you could sub the cream cheese out for something dairy free? Then these could fulfill all my dairy & egg free (allergy) dreams! Thanks!

    1. Christina Lane says:

      Great question, Brooke! Have you tried tofu cream cheese? Or, you could use an extra 2 tablespoons of butter?

  9. Tabitha says:

    This is such a fun snack for those of us that have no self control!

  10. Kathy says:
