Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip

Below is a list of the ingredients you’ll need to gather to make this recipe.Scroll all the way down for the full recipe card.

BUTTER – I use salted to help balance some of the sweetness, but unsalted works just as well.
CREAM CHEESE – I use regular but light cream cheese will probably work fine. Either way, start with it at room temperature.
BROWN SUGAR – Light brown sugar for the lighter color.
FLOUR – – All purpose white flour. You need to heat treat it first so it’s safe to eat (directions below).
PEANUT BUTTER – I use creamy peanut butter (smooth) but chunky would be good for added texture and crunch.
VANILLA EXTRACT – Pure vanilla extract, not imitation, for the best flavor.
POWDERED SUGAR – Sometimes called icing sugar or confectioners’ sugar. All the same thing.
DEMERARA SUGAR – Demerara sugar is made from sugarcane and has larger grains that provide a nice, crunchy texture. You can substitute with turbinado sugar, or skip it altogether.
MINI REESE’S CUPS – Mini peanut butter cups.
REESE’S PIECES – Candy coated peanut butter candies.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS – Mini chocolate chips or full size. I like to use dark chocolate to balance the sweetness.

How to make Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip

STEP ONE: Heat treat the flour. First, to make raw flour safe to eat, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes at 350°.
STEP TWO: Make the dip. To a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and brown sugar until smooth, light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter, heat treated flour, and vanilla extract and continue mixing until everything is fully incorporated. Finally, add the powdered sugar and demerara sugar and mix again.
STEP THREE: Add the mix-ins. Gently stir in the the chocolate chips, Reese’s pieces, and mini Reese’s until evenly distributed.
STEP FOUR: Serve. Transfer the dip to a serving dish and top with additional chocolate chips and Reese’s cups alongside the dippers of your choice.

Dessert dips never last long in my house but if you have leftovers, it should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

If you are serving it after it’s been chilled in the fridge, let it come to room temperature first so it is dippable.

FAQs

Colors may vary depending on if you use light versus dark brown sugar in this recipe.Sometimes the colors of the candies you mix-in can also bleed a bit into the dip.

Flour is a raw food. The grains from which flour are ground are grown outside. You’d wash any other fruits or vegetables that grow outside, right? Since this is a no-bake recipe, you need to heat the flour to 160° before you use it to kill any potential bacteria. Read more flour handling tips from the FDA.

How do you heat treat flour?

Heat your oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread the amount of flour you need in a thin layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for approximately 5 minutes. It should reach 160° to kill any bacteria.
