Ingredients

1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
green gel food coloring
½ cup (113 g) heavy cream, cold
red heart sprinkles
red and green jimmies sprinkles

Instructions

Heat-treating flour

Choose one of these methods to heat-treat your flour:
Microwave - Pour flour into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Oven - Preheat oven to 300℉. Spread flour in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until flour reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow flour to cool to room temperature before assembling dip.

Dip

In a large bowl, add room temperature butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and a few drops of green gel food coloring (keep in mind the color will lighten after adding remaining ingredients). Using a hand mixer, beat until creamed and fluffy, about a minute.
Add heat-treated flour and mix on low until combined. If your dough is looking dry, add a tablespoon of milk and mix to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, add heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip for about 2-3 minutes to medium peaks.
Gently fold whipped cream into cookie dough mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread dip into a wide, shallow bowl and top with heart sprinkles and jimmies sprinkles.
Serve immediately with pretzels, vanilla wafers, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Do I need to heat-treat my flour?: Heating your flour kills harmful bacteria, making it safe to eat. We're heat-treating our flour in this recipe because the dip itself isn't cooked or baked.
Serve with: Graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, strawberries, or vanilla wafer cookies.
Storage: Cookie dough dip will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
