In my book, December 1st means time to get ready for the holidays and get baking! One of my favorite family Christmas traditions is making cookies. Today I’m sharing a really fun one that would be a welcomed addition to any cookie tray! Chocolate Chip Cookie Dippers are easy to make, chock full of chocolate and served with a 3 ingredient Peanut Butter Dip!
Happy Friday you guys! Can you all believe its December already?!?! Seriously the months seem to fly by!! I’ve got to tell you, I am excited for todays post! Not only is this a fantastic and DELICIOUS recipe, its our latest Freaky Friday Virtual Holiday Cookie Exchange!!! For the past few years a bunch of us food bloggers have gotten together to do a really fun recipe swap and this holiday cookie exchange is definitely my favorite! We are secretly assigned another blog to choose a recipe from, bake it up then SURPRISE- we share them all today! A collection of fabulous sweet treats that will make the holidays that much more tasty and fun! I was assigned my friend Jennifer over at Take Two Tapas! She is such a talent, so be sure to check out her site. She makes fabulous smaller portioned dishes with BIG flavor. She is a momma to two boys like me too! From fabulous drinks, snacks, soups, salads and SO much more… she has you covered!
I decided to pick these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dippers because well who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie and I knew my boys would LOVE dipping these into a peanut butter dip! Jennifer had some really great ones though so it was hard to choose. Here are some of my favorites of hers that I can’t wait to try… Sriracha Honey Bourbon Chicken Wings, German Chocolate Wontons and Roasted Tomato Gazpacho Shooters!
So for these you are basically making a giant chocolate chip cookie… FYI- this recipe is perfection and shall forever be our chocolate chip cookie recipe! I used mini chocolate chips so there is plenty of chocolate goodness in every bite! The cookie comes together really easily, press the dough into a baking dish and bake until golden. Allow to completely cool then cut into these really fun dippers!
In Jennifers recipe she actually makes 3 amazing dips so definitely check hers out! I let the boys choose one for use to make and they went with her Peanut Butter Dipping Sauce! I think its a perfect combination of flavors because heck chocolate and peanut butter belong together. I will definitely be making these again for our family cookie party! I know everyone is going to LOVE these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dippers!
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temp
- 1 egg
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips
- For the Peanut Butter Dip:
- 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 4 Tbsp milk
- 4Tbsp powdered sugar
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In a mixer or using a hand mixer, cream together the brown sugar, sugar and butter.
- Add egg, vanilla. Mix until incorporated.
- In a small bowl mix the dry ingredients. Add the dry into the mixer and mix until mostly combined.
- By hand, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Press dough into a 9×13 pan and bake 20-25 minutes.
- Remove pan and let cool for about 20 minutes. If they are too warm, they will fall apart when cutting.
- When completely cool I flipped the giant cookie onto a cutting board and cut into the dippers.
- For the dipping sauce. Warm the milk and peanut butter in the microwave just for 10 seconds to loosen it. Add in the powered sugar and mix until smooth.
- Place sticks back on cookie sheet and bake for another 10 minutes, like biscotti.
- While cookies are baking make your choice of dipping sauces.
