What is sugar cookie fudge?
Most sugar cookie fudge recipes use the super-simple base of sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, sugar cookie mix, just a touch of butter, and plenty of sprinkles! Unlike other fudge recipes, there is no sticky, hot filling or candy thermometers to tango with. There is also no need to heat-treat the floury cookie dough mix, as you do with edible cookie dough. The sweetened condensed milk gets hot enough to both melt the chocolate chips and “cook” the cookie dough mix! This cookie fudge also has real crushed shortbread cookies folded in, lending a crisp texture and buttery flavor to the sweet, soft fudge.
How do you slice sugar cookie fudge?
The key to clean slices is giving the fudge enough time to solidify, at least 2 hours! Then, use a large, sharp chef’s knife, not a serrated knife, and cut down firmly. Try not to use any sawing motions, since that might make the slices uneven. For more even slices, use a ruler as a guide!
