Looking for an easy and unique offering for your next holiday party? This cookie dough dip is sure to be a huge hit!
There are many things I love about the holidays, and one of them is all the fun and festive food. I find myself spending more time in the kitchen than ever before this time of the year, and while it’s generally a good thing, sometimes I don’t have the time or energy to spend 2 hours on a complicated creation. I created this Christmas cookie dough dip when I needed a last minute dessert for a holiday party and it was a HUGE hit! It tastes just like sugar cookie dough, but without the eggs so you can dip to your heart’s content!

How do you make Christmas cookie dough dip?
This recipe is so simple – traditional cookie dough ingredients like butter, sugar and flour get whipped with a mixer and combined with cream cheese and Chobani® Non-Fat Vanilla Blended Greek Yogurt for a smooth and creamy dip that’s irresistibly delicious. I added a generous helping of sprinkles in holiday colors but you can make this dip year round with other sprinkles too. Best of all, this dip comes together in just 5 minutes!
The secret ingredient here is really the Chobani® yogurt – it’s what gives the dip its texture and adds a bit of a pleasant tang to counteract the richness of the cookie dough flavorings. It’s also lighter substitute for something like sour cream.
I buy the larger 32-ounce container of yogurt, my kids love to eat it for breakfast. I love that this yogurt is all natural, high in protein, low in fat and has no artificial flavors or sweeteners. In fact, I used the yogurt I had left over from this recipe as part of their breakfast and topped it with a pinch of leftover sprinkles, they thought it was the best thing ever!
I used a variety of fresh fruit, pretzels, miniature gingerbread men and graham crackers as dippers for this cookie dough dip, you can use whatever you like best. My favorite was actually the sliced apples.
This Christmas cookie dip is the perfect addition to your menu for Christmas day. Serve it as a snack while opening presents, as an appetizer before the big meal or as a sweet finish.

Is there a possible substitute for the cream cheese? My hubby loves cookie dough but is not a fan of cream cheese & I’d love to make this for him.
That’s a good question, and one that I’m not exactly sure of the answer to! My best suggestion would be to use all butter instead of cream cheese, or possibly marshmallow cream?
Ooo marshmallow cream! That’s a good idea. Thank you!
What types of fruit would go well with this? I would like to offer a variety.
I serve it with green and red apples and strawberries, you could also try pears or pineapple.
How long will this keep in the fridge. I’d need to make it about 24 hours in advance.
It will definitely be fine made 24 hours in advance! I would add the sprinkles on top right before serving.
Wonderful! I wouldn’t have thought about adding the sprinkles at the end! Great idea. Thanks!
Recipe for cookie dough dip
Donna, the recipe is written at the bottom of this post!
I can say Thank You! This will be just the ticket to delight my grand kids!
Leave out the yogurt and add one egg. Raw eggs will not hurt anyone!! It is AMAZING!!!
Why the flour? Would it not be good without that in it. Have you ever tried it without?
The flour is to make it taste like actual cookie dough, you can leave it out but it will be more of a frosting flavor (but still delicious!)
What type of flour? Self-rising or Plain?
Just regular flour!
Don’t you have to cook flour? The raw flour is offputting to me. I would leave that out.
The flour is in there to make it taste more like actual cookie dough, but it would be fine to leave it out!
No! It’s a must for the proper flavor!
Can you use another type of yogurt ? Not a big fan of Greek yogurts.
Any vanilla yogurt is fine!
Leave it out and add one egg! Raw eggs will not hurt you! It is much better that way!!
Probably a silly question, but could I add mini chocolate chips? I’m pretty sure it would go fast with my family!
You can definitely add chocolate chips!
Did you have an issue with the apples turning brown before they could all get eaten?
You can squeeze a little lemon juice over the apples and they’ll hold their color for longer!
CAN YOU USE GLUTEN FREE FLOUR WITH THIS.. OR DO YOU THINK IT WILL RUIN THE TASTE/CONSISTANCY
I think it would probably be ok, although I’ve never tasted gluten free flour on its own so I couldn’t say for sure!
Self Rising flour or All Purpose flour?
All purpose!
Seriously can’t wait to make this for a special treat during a busy holiday week! #client
A dip for my cookies, kinda love that idea. Delicious.
We love sweet dips at our house. There’s just something about funfetti and sprinkles over top that takes it to the next level. This is perfect for the holidays.
I’ve never tried a dessert dip before (I’m assuming fondue doesn’t count, haha), but now I’m thinking I should make yours next week. I can imagine kids would go nuts for this!
I want to reach through the screen and have some! Looks so so good!! Love that this creamy dip is made with Chobani! #client
