 This chocolate chip cookie dough fudge has a massive amount of sugar so if you’re on a no-sugar diet (during the Holidays?!? I could never do that!) or just don’t like putting cups and cups of sugar into a recipe then you should probably look away. But since you are here I am assuming you love the idea of chocolate chip cookie dough fudge as much as I do.

I’ll be honest and say that I have never been a fan of fudge. Believe it or not, I actually don’t like super sweet desserts. I know being a food blogger you would think otherwise but I’ve never cared for fudge because I feel like I need to go brush my teeth ten times over again after eating it. And, I actually did that after eating this cookie dough fudge, haha!

But……. I can always make an exception for anything cookie dough! Cookie dough anything is one of my food weaknesses. I can’t say no. Same thing with peanut butter + chocolate. I just can’t resist no matter how sweet or loaded with sugar it is 🙂 

This fudge is so good you guys. Like seriously, just make it. It’s Christmas so I think everyone is allowed to make an extra sweet sugar-filled treat.

 You mix up a simple egg-less cookie dough and then combine some ingredients in a saucepan on the stove top. Let it cool completely and then combine the two. It really is so simple to make. The hardest part is letting it firm up in the fridge for a few hours before you can taste it.

I thought that the fudge got less sweet the longer it sat in the fridge. So keep it in the fridge if the sugar hits you too hard at first.

This fudge makes a great addition to a Christmas cookie plate. If you love all things cookie dough then I know you’ll love this fudge. Tastes exactly like cookie dough but in sweet fudge form and there are no eggs in it so you can safely eat it.

Be sure and cut this into really small squares. It’s fudge so it’s going to be sweet and one square will usually satisfy the sweet tooth. Unless you’re like my 3 year old that could basically live off of sugar coma inducing sweet treats 🙂 

Thanks for visiting and let me know if you try this!

Ingredients

cookie dough
• 1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
fudge
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) butter
• pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4-5 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

• Line an 8×8-inch or 9X9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and set aside. Do not spray.
• For the cookie dough: in a medium bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer) combine the butter and sugars and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla, salt, and heavy cream. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips. Set aside.
• For the fudge: combine the brown sugar, butter, salt, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the brown sugar is dissolved. The mixture should be smooth and combined.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is smooth and thick. The mixture should be very thick. Let this mixture cool completely before proceeding so the chocolate chips do not melt when combined.
• Add the fudge base to the cookie dough bowl and stir to combine. Spread the fudge into the prepared baking pan and press into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 chocolate chips on top of the fudge and lightly press them into the batter.
• Chill until set, about 3-4 hours, before cutting into pieces.

Notes

I used 4 1/2 cups of the powdered sugar. You will know when your mixture is thick enough when it basically forms itself into a ball, pulls away from the sides and bottom of the saucepan, and it will look shiny and smooth. I thought that it resembled play-doh. Hopefully that helps you!

To speed up the cooling process of the fudge. Take it out of the saucepan (it should form a ball, see above comment) and put it on a plate to cool down.
