Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Not measuring ingredients accurately: Precision is key! Use proper measuring cups for dry and wet ingredients to achieve the best texture.
- Overmixing the batter: Mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense dip rather than a light and fluffy one.
- Skipping the salt: Don’t leave out the salt. It enhances the flavor of your Cookie Dough Dip and balances the sweetness.
- Serving without dippers: Make sure to have a variety of dippers ready. Crackers, fruits, and pretzels work well for scooping up this delicious dip.
