Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip with Waffle Dippers
Posted on February 14, 2012 by Bree Hester of bakedbree.com
A few weeks ago, my family and I attended a party with a bowl of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip on the table. My children thought that this was fabulous and asked me to make it for them for days afterward. I looked the recipe up and, while delicious, it wasn’t a nutritious snack for my children. The original recipe included a lot of cream cheese and butter.
When I want to keep a rich, creamy texture, but not calories and fat, I look to my good friend Greek yogurt, which cut fat and added protein and probiotics.
This cookie dough dip has quickly become the most requested snack at my house, and it would be perfect for a classroom party or a special birthday breakfast. It feels special and fancy, but it’s healthy enough that moms feel good about serving it.
Then, I added a variety of dippers, like Van’s Waffle Sticks and fruit. I particularly like the Waffle Sticks from Van’s because they’re made with all-natural ingredients and are an excellent source of calcium.
Cookie Dough Dip with Waffle Stick Dippers
1 cup honey vanilla Greek yogurt1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Mix together yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Add the chocolate chips.
Serve with waffle sticks and strawberries.
