Oh deliciousness! The title says it all. While it doesn't taste like cookie dough, it has a good cookie dough cream cheese flavor. It is absolutely delicious and somewhat addicting. I love it when it is extra cold and I can just eat it with a spoon.
Ingredients
1 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter (melted)
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar for 60 seconds. With mixer on low speed, add in brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Serve with vanilla wafers, fruit, cookies, or pretzels.
Cooking Lesson: Cream cheese is an American invention brought about in the late 1800s by a guy who was trying to duplicate the French cheese Neufchatel. You've probably seen Neufchatel in similar packages sitting right next to the cream cheese. In fact, you may have accidentally bought it a time or two. The taste is actually quite similar. One of the biggest differences is that cream cheese contains about 10% more milk fat than Neufchatel. You can use Neufchatel to "lighten" a recipe calling for cream cheese.
