Super Bowl Sunday is almost here, and honestly, I’m just as excited for the snacks as I am for the game.

Sure, I’m not glued to the screen, but who needs a reason to enjoy a fun treat? This time, I decided to take cookie dough dip to a whole new level by shaping it like a football!

After seeing similar ideas online, I figured, why not make it my own with a big bowl of chocolate chip goodness?

This chocolate chip cookie dough football dip is sweet, creamy, and absolutely perfect for snacking while watching the big game—or any game, really! So, let’s get this sweet football party started!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Football Dip Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (use plant-based butter for vegan)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped (use coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
• Extra chopped chocolate, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips for topping
• Melted white chocolate (or use dairy-free white chocolate) for the laces
• Pretzels, vanilla wafers, apple slices, or any other sides you like

Instructions

1. Start by whisking the flour and salt together in a small bowl.
2. In a larger bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
3. On a low speed, slowly add the flour mixture, mixing just until everything is combined.
4. Gently fold in half of the whipped cream until smooth, then add the rest of the whipped cream, folding it in carefully.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate until it’s evenly mixed.
6. Shape the mixture into a football shape. Top with extra chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, or sprinkles for decoration.
7. For the laces, melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Once melted, pour it into a ziplock bag and cut off the tip to pipe the laces on top of the football.
8. Arrange your favorite sides (like pretzels, wafers, or apples) around the dip and enjoy!

Tips For Making Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

Making this dip is pretty simple, but here are a few tips to make sure it turns out perfectly:

• Use room temperature butter: This helps the dip blend smoothly and gives it the perfect creamy texture.
• Whip the cream well: The whipped cream gives the dip a light and fluffy consistency. Be sure it’s well-whipped before folding it in.
• Chill before serving: If you have time, let the dip chill for an hour before serving. It helps the flavors come together and makes it easier to shape.
• Keep it balanced: Don’t overload with chocolate chips—too many can overpower the cookie dough flavor. Use just enough for a delicious balance.
• Get creative with toppings: Feel free to add extra toppings like mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or even chopped nuts for some crunch.

How To Store Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Football Dip?

You can store this dip easily, and here’s how to keep it fresh:

• Refrigerate: After serving, store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
• Avoid freezing: The dip doesn’t freeze well because of the whipped cream, so it’s best to enjoy it fresh.
• Store toppings separately: If you have extra toppings like sprinkles or chocolate chips, store them separately to keep them fresh and crisp.
