Cookie dough DIP. That's vegan. Let's do this!

I like to make dessert recipes for one because they're so fast, easy, and they feel so indulgent. With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I would expand this treat yo'self mentality to a recipe you can share with someone you love.

This dip uses 6 ingredients you probably already have on hand (no cream cheese needed!) and comes together in FIVE MINUTES. How could we possibly love this recipe even more?

The truth is, when you start dipping chocolate bars, cookies, and little bunny grahams in this dip you're never going to want to stop. I love these little Annie's Honey Bunnies (<- affiliate link) but you can dip any kind of graham cracker in there that you want.

Ingredients

  • Almond butter
  • Pure maple syrup
  • Pure vanilla extract
  • All-purpose flour
  • Salt
  • Vegan mini chocolate chips

How to make chocolate chip cookie dough dip

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Add flour and salt and stir until a creamy dough forms.
  3. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine. Use as a dip for chocolate bars, cookies, graham crackers, and more!

Top tips

Heat treat your flour

There has been concern lately about the consumption of raw flour. To ensure the safety of your edible cookie dough dip, follow these directions for toasting flour before using.

Use pure maple syrup

Make sure you use 100% pure maple syrup and not artificial sugar syrup for this recipe. They are very different, and will cause a very different outcome in cooking.

The best vegan chocolate chips

I love Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips. They taste great, maybe even better than regular chocolate chips, and they're free of most major allergens. This makes them a great choice for vegans and non-vegans.

How to store chocolate chip cookie dough dip

Typically I don't have leftovers when I make this cookie dough dip, but if you do, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips for customizing vegan cookie dough dip

  • Use whatever natural nut butter you have on hand
  • Substitute your favorite gluten-free flour blend to make this gluten-free, though taste and texture may be affected
  • Add bits of your favorite candy instead of/alongside the chocolate chips
  • Use honey in place of the maple syrup if not making it vegan

FAQ

How do you make cookie dough safe to eat?

You'll need to skip the eggs and heat your flour to remove any bacteria. This recipe was developed without the use of eggs. Check the notes section in the recipe card to learn how to heat treat your flour.

Can I bake vegan cookie dough dip?

No. While this tastes like a delicious as raw cookie dough, it lacks some of the necessary ingredients to turn it into an actual cookie.

    Super intriguing...never would have thought of using almond butter as the base, but I can see how it'd work great. Definitely trying it this weekend.

    This is so dangerous! Especially for children or anyone with a compromised immune system Raw flour can contain salmonella! https://www.cdc.gov/features/no-raw-dough/index.html
