Cookies & Cream Dip

cookies-and-cream-dip-5My post-Christmas box of candy is overflowing. So why am I making a dip out of cookies?

Who knows. I’m just that sugar addicted, I guess.

The truth is, I like sweet dips, like this cake batter dip, and this cookie dough dip, and laaaawwd have mercy this brown butter dip. Mmmmm.  I don’t even need an excuse to make them. I’ll make them on a Wednesday afternoon for no reason whatsoever.

Which is what I did this week.

Of course, the tricky part about making a cookies and cream dip is keeping the cookies secret from the cookie-pilfering family members. I find if I keep them inside a grocery bag in an unusual spot in the kitchen, they are less likely to disappear before I can make dip out of them.

All moms use these tricks, right?

I’m a big fan of bribery too. I bribed The Lizard with this dip to convince him to help me put my photography set up away.

Worked like a charm.

Just like this dip worked to calm my Wednesday afternoon sugar cravings.
