This Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Hummus recipe is a sweet, guilt free, treat the entire family will enjoy. The kids and I prepare a batch of this creamy and delicious hummus weekly. It is packed with nutrients, great for dipping and ready in minutes.
If you are anything like me, then you were a cookie dough junkie growing up and maybe you still are. If so, this recipe is definitely for you. Growing up in the 90s, or the last century as my children like to say as if their mother is so old, I could not wait for those hot weekend afternoons when my mom would treat us to the DQ in town. I always opted for the Cookie Dough Blizzard. There was just something about those little balls of dough speckled with chocolate chips that made every bite of my vanilla ice cream that much tastier.
These days, instead of running to the supermarket or a fast food restaurant for my childhood ice cream indulgence, I reach for my trusty food processor and a few pantry staples. Unlike many processed cookie dough treats found on the market today, our Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Hummus is guilt free, packs a serious nutritious punch, and the kids absolutely love it! We think you will love it too!
