Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint patties
- Chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of crushed peppermint patties, and chocolate chips for garnish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed to cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the dip too dense.
- Next, pour in the milk and continue to mix on low speed until the dip reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Gently fold in the crushed peppermint patties using a spatula. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough dip.
- Transfer the peppermint patty cookie dough dip into a serving bowl. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even appearance.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the dip for garnish. This adds a delightful visual appeal and extra chocolate flavor.
- Serve the dip with graham crackers, pretzels, or fresh fruit for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Peppermint Patty Cookie Dough Dip!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. This will help achieve that light and fluffy texture you want in your dip.
- Don’t Overmix: When adding the flour, mix on low speed until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a denser dip, so be gentle!
- Customize Your Dips: Feel free to get creative with your dippers! While graham crackers and pretzels are classic choices, fresh fruit like apple slices or strawberries can add a refreshing twist.
- Chill for Extra Flavor: If you have time, let the dip chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Presentation Matters: For an eye-catching presentation, serve the dip in a decorative bowl and top it with extra crushed peppermint patties or colorful sprinkles to impress your guests.
