  • Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 64 (1-inch pieces)

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons half and half
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (see notes for safe handling)

Fudge

  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup half and half
  • 4-5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 1 inch overhang on the sides for easy removal. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract, salt, and half and half; beat until combined. Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Fudge Base: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine brown sugar, butter, salt, and half and half. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a smooth mixture.
  4. Add Powdered Sugar and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until the fudge mixture is smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Dough and Fudge: Add the prepared cookie dough to the fudge base and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Chill the Fudge: Spread the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm and set.
  7. Serve: Once set, use the foil overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into approximately 1-inch pieces. Keep refrigerated and consume within one week.

Notes

  • If concerned about consuming raw flour, spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes or until it reaches 160°F (71°C). Let cool before use.
  • The amount of powdered sugar affects texture and sweetness: 4 cups yields softer, less sweet fudge best served cold; 5 cups yields firmer, sweeter fudge that holds shape better at room temperature.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour as tested successfully by a reader.
