How to Make Delicious Sugar Cookie Fudge
Step 1. Line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper or wax paper. You can use a 9×9 for slightly thinner fudge. This makes it easy to lift the fudge out of the pan when it’s set.
Step 2. Add sugar cookie mix, butter, vanilla extract, and white chocolate chips to a medium saucepan.
Step 3. Add sweetened condensed milk to the sugar cookie mix and stir.
Step 4. Heat over medium heat, mixing constantly, until everything is combined, and all of the chocolate chips have melted and are nice and smooth.
Tip: Don’t rush this step. By cooking it on medium-to-low heat, it will help prevent it from scorching.
Step 5. Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan. Smooth it out evenly, making sure to push it into all of the corners of the pan.
Tip: To make sure your fudge comes out easily, you may want to spray the top of the parchment paper with some nonstick cooking spray.
Step 6. Add festive candies and red and green sprinkles to the top of the fudge. Place the fudge on the counter and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Tip: Be sure to place sprinkles on the white chocolate layer before it sets so they’ll stay put.
Step 7: Once firm, cut the fudge into small pieces and enjoy!
Tip: To get really smooth edges remove the fudge from the pan. Then, dip a sharp knife into hot water, dry it off and then slice the fudge.
Tips & Variations
- Chocolate: Even though white chocolate chips are used in this recipe, you can use milk chocolate instead. For a peanut butter fudge flavor, add some peanut butter chips with the white chocolate chips. Just be sure to use good quality chips since they’re the primary ingredient.
- Nuts: Instead of sprinkles on top, add a little crunch to your batch of fudge with chopped pecans or walnuts. Be sure to chop them up finely so that the fudge will cut into smooth squares.
- Extracts: Peppermint extract gives this cookie dough fudge extra Christmas flavor. You can also use almond extract, rum extract, or maple extract for a fun twist.
- Decorations: Change up the decorations of this Christmas cookie fudge recipe using other colorful sprinkles and candies. Instead of chocolate candies. You can use red and green Reese’s pieces or replace the red and green jimmies with gold sprinkles.
- Other add-ins: You can add all sorts of fun additions to this Christmas fudge recipe. Try chopped pretzel pieces, Rice Krispie cereal, or mini marshmallows.
Easy Christmas Cookie Fudge Recipe FAQs
For best results, store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 2-3 weeks. You can refrigerate it, but you risk drying it out.
One of my favorite things about this easy fudge recipe is that you can make several batches and freeze them weeks in advance. It’s a great way to get a jump on all your treat making at Christmas time.
Just wrap the cooled and firm fudge tightly in plastic and slip it into an airtight container or freezer bag to keep it extra fresh. You can freeze fudge up to a month.
White chocolate seizes and burns very easily because it has a high milk fat content. To ensure it doesn’t seize up, always make sure you melt the chocolate with the butter and sweetened condensed milk at the same time.
