Cookie dough dip for one! Creamy, delicious, edible chocolate chip cookie dough for one or two people to enjoy in an instant! Serve with sweet and salty items for dunking!
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. It's heaven-sent.
Cookie dough for one ingredients:
- 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.
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 heaped ramekin 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.
How to make edible cookie dough dip without eggs:
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature so that everything mixes together smoothly.
- Beat all of the ingredients together except for the mini chocolate chips.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand. If you lack the mini chips, you can use chopped chocolate from a bar, too.
- Pile the dough into a small bowl, and serve with salty and sweet dippers.
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. If you don't like it, there's probably something wrong with you genetically, and you should definitely get that checked by a doctor.
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.
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? :)
If you love cookie dough like me, try my mini cookie dough cake for two.

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.
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.
Annette says
How do you get to that total?
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.

Your loss.
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!
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.
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 :)
Aimee says
Oh my. I think I'm going to attempt to smuggle this into the movie theater tonight with me. Wish me luck!
Christina Lane says
haha, Aimee! I like your style :)
Julie says

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)
Pamela @BrooklynFarmGirl says
Raw cookie dough is just so addictive ???? This looks yummy and is a great alternative????
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!
Christina Lane says
Great question, Brooke! Have you tried tofu cream cheese? Or, you could use an extra 2 tablespoons of butter?
Tabitha says
This is such a fun snack for those of us that have no self control!
Kathy says
