Sugar Cookie Dip Step-by-Step Guide

Makes 12 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 14 minutes

Chill time: 1 hour

​

Ingredients:

• 1 package sugar cookie dough
• 1 16 ounce container white icing
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1/4 cup Christmas sprinkles, plus more for topping

Alright, let’s roll up our sleeves and get started on this delicious sugar cookie dip that’s going to rock your Christmas time! Grab your favorite large mixing bowl or stand mixer, and let’s bring this easy dip recipe to life. 

If your ingredients are fresh from the fridge, remember to set them out a little bit before so they reach room temperature. That way, you’ll get that smooth texture instead of clumpy.

First, roll out the sugar cookie dough according to the package instructions and use Christmas cookie cutter shapes to cut out the cookies. Bake according to the package instructions and allow to cool completely.

While the cookies are baking, take your electric mixer and beat together a package of softened cream cheese (trust me, room temperature is your friend here) with a container of the white icing. Beat until light and fluffy.

Gently fold in some Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream, and your festive sprinkles.

Wrap it up with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for an hour. You want everything to meld together, giving you that rich, delicious dip consistency.

When ready to serve, sprinkle more sprinkles on top of the dip. Serve the dip with the baked sugar cookies.

And there you have it! A super simple sugar cookie dip ready to serve.

Sugar Cookie Dip Pro Tips

Now, for those looking to become the sugar cookie dip connoisseur, here are a few tips

• ​Make sure your cream cheese is at the temperature of the room for that silky smooth dip.
• If you’re using heavy whipping cream instead of Cool Whip, beat it until it forms stiff peaks before folding. This adds the airy texture that’ll make your dip irresistible.
• Choose high-quality cream cheese and whipped topping; it makes a big difference, I swear.

Customizing Your Dip

If you want to take your Christmas cookie dip even further, consider adding in another fun twist. Think of this sugar cookie dip recipe as your canvas. Here are a few ideas:

• Swirl in some almond extract for a nutty flavor that complements the sweetness.
• Easily swap in Greek yogurt or a dairy-free whipped cream to cater to everyone at your holiday parties.
• Mix in red and green sprinkles or even crushed candy canes for a holiday look.
• If you don’t want to use sugar cookies, graham crackers or your favorite fruit are other great options!
