Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour, toasted

½ cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ cup mini chocolate chips

¼ cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans work well)

½ teaspoon salt

Assorted dippers (such as graham crackers, pretzels, or crisp apple slices)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Flour: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a baking sheet, evenly spread the all-purpose flour. Bake for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flour is lightly golden and has a nutty aroma. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before using. This step is crucial to eliminate any raw flour taste.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the two together until the mixture is creamy and fully combined, ensuring a smooth base for your dip.

      Add Sugars and Vanilla: Gradually incorporate the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar into the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until the blend is fluffy and homogenous. Then, add the pure vanilla extract and blend again until thoroughly smooth and creamy.

        Incorporate Flour: With a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the cooled toasted flour and salt. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and there are no dry flecks remaining in the mixture. This ensures your dip has a uniform texture.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips and the chopped nuts (if you choose to include them) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip. Be gentle to maintain the creamy texture.

            Chill: Transfer the cookie dough dip into a decorative serving bowl. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step helps the flavors meld together and allows the dip to firm up for better scooping.

              Serve: Before serving, give the dip a quick stir to refresh its texture. Present with an array of dippers such as graham crackers, salty pretzels, or crisp apple slices for a delightful contrast.
