Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract optional, for a sugar cookie-like flavor
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sugar cookie crumbs optional, for extra flavor and texture
- ¼ cup festive sprinkles plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and brown sugar. Beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and salt. Beat until well combined.
- If using sugar cookie crumbs, gently fold them into the dip. Stir in the sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, garnish with additional sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Almond extract is optional, but even a small amount gives the dip a classic bakery-style sugar cookie flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are fully softened to keep the dip smooth and fluffy.
- This dip thickens slightly as it chills, so chilling is recommended for best texture.
