Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a bowl, mix the softened butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until creamy. Gradually add the flour and mix until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Make the Fudge

In a saucepan, melt the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over medium heat. Stir until smooth and fully combined.

Assemble the Fudge

Pour half of the fudge mixture into a lined square baking dish. Layer the cookie dough evenly on top and then add the remaining fudge. Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.

Storage and Shelf Life

Cookie Dough Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, making it an excellent make-ahead option for busy weeks ahead. To keep it even fresher for longer, consider freezing it. Cut the fudge into squares, layer them between parchment paper in an airtight container, and freeze for up to three months. When you're ready to indulge, simply thaw at room temperature for a few hours.

Be aware that while the fudge maintains its delicious flavor and texture when refrigerated, prolonged exposure to air can lead to a slightly drier product. To avoid this, always ensure your container is sealed tightly after each serving.

Customizing Your Cookie Dough Fudge

One of the best aspects of Cookie Dough Fudge is its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate can transform the flavor profile. You can also add nuts, sprinkles, or even your favorite candy pieces for a quirky twist. The base recipe is incredibly forgiving and allows creativity, making it a fun dessert to customize according to your preferences.

If you're looking to make this dessert a bit healthier, consider using dark chocolate chips and reducing the sugar content slightly. You can also substitute some of the butter in the cookie dough for unsweetened applesauce for a lighter option. These substitutions can maintain the rich flavors while still catering to your dietary needs.
