If you haven’t already purchased The Girl Who Ate Everything Cookbook, you need to do it ASAP. Put in on your Christmas wish list! It’s such a great cookbook full of easy, mouth-watering recipes your family will love! Christy is my sister-in-law, so even though I’m a little biased, I just think she’s amazing for creating such a beautiful book. I know how hard she worked on it and think it turned out perfect. And I know how good the food she makes is:) She’s so talented and someone I look up to- as a mother (of five!), a blogger, baker and chef, and just a genuinely kind and loving person.
My first visit to Christy’s house she had a huge bowl of Peanut Butter M&M’s on the night stand in the room we stayed in. Right then I knew I’d love her! It’s been fun to share our journeys in food blogging together. As well as our love for all things chocolate and peanut butter, diet dr. pepper, running, and cookie dough:)
When I saw the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Dough Dip in her new cookbook I knew I had to try it.
Christy is also a great entertainer and loves bringing people together with food. I pictured her making this for a party or gathering with friends. And that’s exactly what I did! I made this dip for a girls game night last week and it was such a hit. I even sent some of it home with a friend….who couldn’t stop eating it :0
I only made one small change to the recipe and used chocolate chips and holiday M&M’s instead of raisins. That might be one thing she and I are different on…I don’t do raisins. So I just added chocolate, because oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are probably my fav.
Serve this with graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices or just get crazy and eat it with a spoon!
- 1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, soft
- 1/2 cup butter, soft
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 1/2 cups quick oats
- 3/4 cup raisins (I used chocolate chips & m&m's instead)
- milk (optional)
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy.
- Add the flour and cinnamon and mix until combined.
- Stir in the oats and raisins (or chocolate chips). Add milk if you want a thinner consistency.
- Serve with vanilla wafers, graham crackers, or apple for dipping.
- I chilled mine for a little bit before serving and stored it in the fridge 🙂

This Receipe sounds Very Yummy!!! How much oatmeal do you put in it and do you leave the oatmeal in flake form? 🙂 Thanks!
2 1/2 cups quick oats!
What kind of oats did you use? It’s not listed on your recipe.
Quick oats, i’ll add it!
Thank you for answering questions and making correction quickly – much appreciated! 🙂
This is my kind of recipe – I can’t help but make cookie dough and eat too much of the dough!
I also have to say that I love the theme of your blog of eating healthy but leaving room for sweets. That’s what I try to teach as a dietitian – moderation!
