🍫 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip 🍫
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
1/2 cup milk
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Optional toppings: extra chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce
Instructions:
Heat-Treat the Flour:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Let it cool completely before using.
Prepare the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing until fully combined and slightly fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
Slowly mix in the heat-treated flour, one-third at a time, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the milk gradually to create a soft, dough-like consistency. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Shape and Serve:
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and use a spatula to create a smooth surface. Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips or sprinkles on top for a decorative touch. For an extra indulgent presentation, drizzle melted chocolate over the dip.
Pair with Dippers:
Serve with graham crackers, pretzel sticks, apple slices, or vanilla wafers for dipping. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld further.
