I love cheesy dips, but it is nice to have some sweet ones in your arsenal as well. The benefit to sweet dips is that they are served cold and are easily transportable if you are going to a party or event. And at Christmas time, everyone loves sweets! You have to try my cookies and cream dip too! It is perfect for holiday parties! I love my bright fiesta bowls for serving dip in. They are the perfect size and come in such fun colors!
I made this dip a few weeks ago when we were having some family over for dinner. I am embarrassed to admit that four of us put a hurting on this bowl of dip and then the small remaining amount became my lunch the next day! Would it be better if I told you I ate it with fruit? Maybe just a little bit better?
The addition of butter and flour give this dip its cookie batter like texture. It is smooth and creamy and tastes like you melted down a batch of sugar cookies! I started small with my amount of powdered sugar in this dip, but feel free to add more once you taste it, especially if you like things on the sweet side! I prefer mine on the tangier side!
The holiday season is so busy and it seems like everything requires food (which I am certainly not complaining about!) so it is so good to have some easy recipes saved for when you need to throw something together or a party! This Christmas Cookie Dip is the perfect recipe to make or take to any holiday event. Looking for a traditional cookie recipe?

Recipe Notes

i havfe plain greek yogurt can I use in the Christmas cookie dip. can I ad vanilla and how much?

Why did the red and green sprinkles change the dip to a red color. I used the amount that was in the recipe and folded them in the dip with the spatula?
Thank you.
HI Gerry, you can see in my photo that the sprinkles left little red and green streaks, but did not change the color completely. It may have been the type of sprinkle you used or they may have been stirred too much. Either way, I hope you still enjoyed it!
Loved it! Thanks!
