Ingredients:

For the Cookie Dough Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Fudge Layer:

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

Prepare the Cookie Dough Layer:

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in the milk and pure vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture, mixing until a cookie dough forms.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  5. Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal later.
  6. Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the fudge layer.

Make the Fudge Layer: 7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.

  1. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are fully melted and combined. This usually takes 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.

Assemble the Cookie Dough Fudge: 10. Pour the melted fudge mixture over the chilled cookie dough layer in the baking dish.

  1. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
  2. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours or until it’s firm and set.

Slice and Serve: 13. Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the dish.

  1. Place it on a cutting board and slice into squares or bars.
  2. Serve and enjoy your Delicious Cookie Dough Fudge!
