Ingredients

• One 8-ounce block cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 /4 cup mascarpone, at room temperature
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 /4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/4 cups crushed crispy chocolate chip cookies, such as Tate's (from about 6 cookies)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the cream cheese, mascarpone, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl. Mix together with a rubber spatula until smooth and combined. Add the crushed cookies and fold together. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (The dip is best if made at least 1 hour in advance.) Bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
