SIMPLE INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE FUDGE RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this Christmas cookie fudge recipe (the exact measurements, step by step instructions and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Sweetened Condensed Milk – this will help the fudge form into it’s creamy delicious consistency. It will also give the fudge a little bit more sweetness.
• White Chocolate Chips – if you prefer a classic chocolate fudge recipe you could opt for semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate and remove the sugar cookie mix.
• Unsalted Butter – you can opt for vegan butter to reduce the overall dairy in this recipe if you choose. I do recommend choosing a high quality butter.
• Sugar Cookie Mix – this really gives it the sugar cookie flavor. I used Betty Crocker.
• Holiday Sprinkles – can use red and green sprinkles if you prefer. Any sort of festive sprinkles will work.
• Optional – vanilla extract, favorite sprinkles of choice.

HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS SUGAR COOKIE FUDGE

Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or wax paper. Spray a small amount of nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium size pot or medium saucepan, add the condensed milk. Heat over low-medium heat until the milk becomes thinner and warm.

Stir in the white chocolate chips and butter until melted. Then add in the sugar cookie mix, batter will be thick and gooey.

Once batter is smooth, stir in Christmas sprinkles of your choice. 

Pour the fudge mixture into the lined baking pan and add extra sprinkles on top of the fudge. Refrigerate for minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Using a sharp knife, slice into 16 or 25 small pieces and enjoy!

TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT SUGAR COOKIE FUDGE

For best results, it’s important that you prepare your baking pan correctly. When you are mixing up the fudge mixture, it will get thick and harder to deal with as it sits.

Preparing the baking pan ahead of time is crucial. It’s also important to use non-stick spray to reduce anything sticking to the pan.

The last way to get the perfect creamy fudge is to ensure it chills in the refrigerator for the correct amount of time. Pulling it out to early won’t allow this no bake recipe to set properly.
