Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge to be exact! Because what happens when you want cookie dough, but you also want fudge?? Well…you make the cookie dough into fudge! This recipe is easy to make and does not require a thermometer (we make the fudge part in the microwave!!). So if you are looking for a quick dessert to bring to a party, make this fudge and you will be adored by all.
I am not the first person to create a cookie dough fudge. Someone tagged me in a cookie dough fudge post on Facebook and that sparked my interest (I think from Delish.com?). So playing around with recipes, here’s my take on this delicious goodness.
But wait! Is cookie dough safe to eat, you ask?? Yes it is! Well we will make it safe to eat anyways by omitting any eggs and heat treating the flour. With all the E. coli outbreaks hitting those poor people eating Romaine lettuce, it just goes to show you that you are safer eating this fudge than salad. Cookie Dough Fudge for dinner everyone!! You’re welcome!
So first ya make the dough, then ya make the fudge, then ya mix it all together. Press it out in a pan. Lick the spoon for quality control purposes. Refrigerate and cut into desired sized pieces. Pass around a plate of this fudge to family and friends (or to anyone lucky enough to be in the same room as you) and then wait for the praises to come flurrying in quicker than a December snowstorm in North Dakota.
Cookie Dough Fudge
Print RecipeIngredients
- COOKIE DOUGH:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Baker's Extract)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (see note below)
- pinch of salt
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- FUDGE:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch pan with foil and spray the bottom and sides with baking spray. Set aside.
PREPARE THE COOKIE DOUGH: In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and brown and white sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Change the mixer to low speed and add the flour, salt and nutmeg. Mix until smooth. Slowly mix in the mini chocolate chips.
PREPARE THE FUDGE: In a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips, stopping every 15-seconds to stir. Process takes only 60-90 seconds. Microwave until the white chocolate has melted completely. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the sweetened condensed milk into the melted white chocolate, until mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the fudge mixture into the mixing bowl with the prepared cookie dough and mix until the fudge has incorporated into the cookie dough. Pour mixture out into an even layer in the prepared pan. Place in refrigerator to set before cutting into desired sized pieces.
Store fudge in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to one week.
Notes
To heat treat the flour to ensure the raw flour is safe to eat, place the flour in the microwave for 90-seconds. Allow flour to cool before putting into the cookie dough mixture.
XOXO,
