How to make Sugar Cookie Dip Recipe
Step 1. Get out a mixing bowl and beat the cream cheese until fluffy. I used a hand mixer but you can also use a stand mixer.
Step 2. Add in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Mix until combined and smooth.
Step 3. Carefully combine the Cool Whip and fold into the mixture. Don’t use the electric mixer for this step.
Step 4. Stir by hand stir the sprinkles into the dip. Save some for the top. Carefully and slowly combine the sprinkles so the colors on the sprinkles do not bleed. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Serving Suggestions
- Fresh Fruit. Apples, Strawberries, pears and bananas. My kids love apple slices the best!
- Cookies. Animal Crackers, Graham Crackers, nilla wafers, gingerbread men, frosted sugar cookies.
- Other. Pretzels and pound cake cubes are also good to serve with sugar cookie dip.
Tips for Success
- Only use nonpareils for sprinkles. Jimmies will not bleed into the Christmas Cookie dip.
- Use a block of cream cheese. Don’t use a tub of cream cheese as it is a different consistency than the blocks.
- Thaw the cool whip. Make sure to thaw the whipped cream overnight so it is easy to fold into the mixture.
- Clear Vanilla Extract. Use clear vanilla if you can. This will produce the prettiest dip.
