Scale
Base
- 17.5 oz sugar cookie mix
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 8 oz cool whip thawed
Instructions
- Heat-Treat Sugar Cookie Mix: Put the sugar cookie mix into a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture reaches 165℉ to ensure safety. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Base: Add the softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat it with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavorings and Milk: Add the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the cream cheese and continue beating until well combined.
- Incorporate Cookie Mix: Add the heat-treated sugar cookie mix to the cream cheese mixture and mix until all lumps are gone and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed cool whip into the mixture using a spatula until fully blended, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
- Serve and Chill: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl, optionally top with holiday sprinkles, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Make sure to heat-treat the sugar cookie mix to kill any potential bacteria for safe consumption.
- Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and refrigerate within 2 hours of serving to maintain freshness.
- Use thawed whipped topping and fold it in gently with a spatula instead of mixing to keep the dip creamy and fluffy.
