Monster Cookie Dough Dip (the original recipe) posted by Something Swanky Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe SomethingSwanky is reader-supported.

Loaded with peanut butter, oatmeal, M&Ms and chocolate chips. This dip is a cinch to make and even easier to eat! This Monster Cookie Dough Dip is a recipe from very deep, deep, deeeeeeeeep in the archives and is very near and dear to my heart. For a few different reasons… first, because I have a soft spot for all things monster cookie. monster cookies remind me of my Grandma and Christmas time, and there’s just all sorts of nostalgia wrapped up in that for me. Secondly, because this recipe was my first popular post on Something Swanky! It didn’t go viral by today’s standards, but considering how small my following was way back then, it did reallllllly well. It was the first glimmer of hope that maybe this little blog of mine might amount to something one day. It was also the first original recipe I ever created. Up until this one, I was solely relying upon Betty Crocker, Allrecipes.com, and Food Network for recipes that I posted to the blog. And although I still enjoy using those sources from time to time, this dip kickstarted my passion for recipe development. Also: it’s insanely good. This dip is literally like spooning a mouthful after mouthful of monster cookie dough in your mouth. And it’s acceptable, because it’s a dip. Hey– I don’t make the rules. But I’m happy to follow when it involves socially mandated cookie dough eating. ???? Here’s what you’ll need: Cream cheese and butter. Can’t be bad with a start like that! Peanut butter. I like creamy for this, but crunchy is yum too. Brown sugar, flour, vanilla, and salt. Just as if you were making actual cookies. And finally: oatmeal, M&Ms, chocolate chips, and more M&Ms. This creamy peanut butter dip is LOADED with texture from the oatmeal, M&Ms, and chocolate chips. And you know me– I’m such a texture freak. I just love biting into something. And this dip really delivers on that. Plus it tastes like monster cookies. And not all cookie dough dips actually taste like cookie dough, amiright? Have you tried the massively popular cookie dough dip? Super good, but also super-doesn’t-taste-like-cookie-dough. This recipe does. It’s amazing. The end.

Print Ingredients 8 oz. Cream Cheese softened 1/2 Cup Butter softened 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter 1 Cup Powdered Sugar 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 1 tsp. Vanilla extract 1 Cup Oats regular or quick 1 Cup Miniature Plain M&Ms 1 Cup Miniature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Instructions Use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter in a medium mixing bowl.Mix in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and oats.Mix in the M&Ms and Chocolate Chips.Serve with pretzels, graham crackers, and spoons! Notes I think this dip is really best when it's served immediately after making it. You can absolutely make it ahead and chill it (it will be still taste good!), however you may find that the dip is too firm once chilled to be a "dip." And if you let it thaw, you'll run into an issue of the M&M colors bleeding. Love monster cookies? I’m an addict!

You are just bad, but in such a good way! This looks so delish! I have never had cookie dough dip but you are really making me want to try it! Thanks for sharing at Mrs Foxs Sweet Party 🙂
Yummy! That is so funny because I just made for the first time chocolate chip cookie dough dip and I know what you mean. I love it. I will be making this soon. Thanks for sharing!
I have been toying with the idea of making a cookie dough dip for awhile…and this might have just pushed me over the edge. I’m going to fatten up my friends with it at a girls’ night later this month. 🙂
This looks fantastic – plus so easy to make it gluten free so my allergy ridden daughter can enjoy this! Thanks!
I don’t even know what to say about this…it’s amazing and I can’t wait to try it!! I’m definitely pinning this. Thanks!
Just give me a spoon! This looks awesome. I think my girls could make this for my upcoming BIG 40. Definitely going on my menu.
I found this recipe through Sweets for a Saturday, and I love me some monster cookies! I made a recipe for Grown Up Gourmet Monster Cookies, and they were delish. I can’t imagine if they were in dip-form! Please check out my blog. Can’t wait to look at your other recipes 🙂 XOXO, Julianahttp://www.piecelovecooking.com
Saw you on Nifty Thrifty Sunday and can imagine how good this must be! Looks like it would be worth the 1000 sit ups needed to balance out this indulge moment! I’m pinning it! THanks for the post.
Ooooh, yummy! I would love for you to link up with my party at http://anoriginalbelle.blogspot.com/2012/01/make-it-yourself-monday-10-link-up.html Happy Monday to you!
Wow! This looks delicious. Thanks for linking up to Strut Your Stuff Saturday. We would love to have you back next Saturday to share more of your recipes. -The Sisters
Pinned! Thanks! And I mean that sarcastically as any and all hope of me losing weight just flew out the window 😉
I wasn’t too sure about this before I made it, but it sounded interesting. OH MY WORD. So good. I made this to go on the Monster cupcakes. I couldn’t stop sneaking bites of this yummy “dip”. Soooooo good! Delicious!
Oh My WORD! 🙂 YUMMY! Stumbled upon your blog! New Follower! 🙂 ~Little Adventureshttp://littleadventures-als.blogspot.com
Oh know, I wish I hadn’t found this. Zesty Cook got me here from a “It’s Peanut Butter Month” post. Cookie dough dip? I had to see it. Now I must go make it. Time to get out the stretchy pants.
I just made it last night and sample it before I put the peanut butter in. – without the peanut butter it has a really strong cream cheese taste. I did not like…. When I put the peanut butter in it completed the taste and was amazing!! The group could not stop eating it!
This does look real good. Except for the peanut butter ingredient. my family is allergic to it, Is there a replacement for the peanut butter instead? Or can I buy a store bought cookie dough would this work as well?
i followed your recipe to a tee and even added the additional to make it like real dough but it still looks nothing like what yours looks like 🙁
I need to make this for about 20 people. How many does this serve? And what your suggestion on measurements to make a batch for that many folks? Thanks.
This serves anywhere from 8-12 (probably closer to 8 though, since everyone wants a big serving!!). You’ll definitely want to double or triple. If you double, you may be a little short, if you triple, you’ll probably have way too much…… so, it’s sort of which predicament would bother your less. I say go for more 🙂
