Cookie Dough Dip

I love cookie dough, I think half the time I make cookies is so I can eat the cookie dough :-) As soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. I never could find the right time, finally I decided just to make it!!!

This is a VERY sweet snack, very tasty, but as good as cookie dough for me :-)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (From: Recipezzar)

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 (8-oz) pkg cream cheese
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
• 3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips

In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously, until the brown sugar dissolves. (You can also do this in the microwave but watch it closely. The butter/sugar mixture will boil over fast. Stir every 30 seconds or so.)

Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla extract and set aside to cool.

Beat the cream cheese and confectioner's sugar for 1 minute.

Slowly beat in the cooled butter mixture and beat again for another minute.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour into a serving bowl and refrigerate.

Garnish with additional chips, if you choose. Serve with Nilla wafers (my choice) or graham crackers.

**Note: after refrigerating the dip it will be pretty solid and un-dippable so make sure to remove it from the refrigerator about 15-30 minutes before you plan on serving it, so it has time to soften up.
