Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 5 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles (divided use)
Dippers
- Graham crackers
- Fruit (such as strawberries, apple slices, or grapes)
Instructions
- Heat treat the flour: Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high for 40 seconds. Use a thermometer to ensure the flour reaches 160°F to eliminate any bacteria. Stir well to break up any clumps and let it cool slightly.
- Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar: In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add flour and vanilla extract: Incorporate the heat-treated flour and vanilla extract into the mixture. Beat on medium speed for another minute to combine everything smoothly.
- Fold in Greek yogurt: Add the non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt in two increments of 1/4 cup each, mixing on low speed to gently combine and maintain a creamy texture.
- Add sprinkles: Stir in half of the holiday sprinkles into the dough dip to infuse festive colors and flavors. Reserve the remaining 2 tablespoons to sprinkle decoratively on top of the dip.
- Serve: Transfer the cookie dough dip to a serving bowl, garnish with the remaining sprinkles, and serve immediately alongside graham crackers, fruit, or your preferred dippers.
Notes
- This dip is eggless and uses heat-treated flour to ensure safety when consuming raw flour.
- The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated, but for best texture, serve soon after preparation.
- Use a candy or kitchen thermometer to accurately heat treat the flour.
- Substitute sprinkles with mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired.
- Keep dip chilled until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
