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.

HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS SUGAR COOKIE FUDGE

Line a 8 x 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 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.

STORAGE

You can store your sugar cookie Christmas fudge recipe two ways. The first is in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

The second way is in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

FREEZING THE CHRISTMAS FUDGE RECIPE

If you want to make the homemade fudge ahead of time, you can freeze in a freezer bag or plastic wrap for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve, pull out and leave at room temperature to thaw out.

DOES IT MATTER WHICH TYPE OF SPRINKLES I USE IN THIS EASY HOLIDAY FUDGE RECIPE?

One of my favorite things about this recipe is you can make it customizable to any holiday. It’s the perfect sweet treat over the Christmas holidays with red and green sprinkles.

For valentine’s day you could use red and white sprinkles or heart shaped sprinkles.

For a birthday party you could even add pieces of cookie dough to make a cookie dough fudge recipe.

Adding peanut butter and milk chocolate would make a delicious minimal ingredient peanut butter fudge recipe.

All you need is a few basic ingredients, and you can swap a few out here and there to make the ultimate fudge recipes.

HOW LONG DOES THE FUDGE NEED TO SET BEFORE CUTTING?

The Christmas sugar cookie fudge needs to set for a few hours in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the recipe. It’s best to follow the specific instructions in your chosen recipe for the recommended setting time.

Yes, absolutely! The festive colors and incredible taste make them perfect for cookie exchanges or as a great edible gift.
