Whenever I am bored or need a minute to myself, I like to bake. I love having a hobby where I can just take some time to myself and do something that I love and I feel I am decent at. I have been meaning to make fudge for the holidays but I just haven't had a minute to myself! Last night I finally got the chance to do a "trial run" of fudge. I saw this recipe on pinterest and I decided to give it a try. Oh man it is Heavenly and it only took 10 minutes or less to make. You have to give this a try sometime during the holidays! Everyone will gobble this one up!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge:
INGREDIENTS:
For the cookie dough:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons half and half
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
For the fudge:
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup butter
pinch of salt
1/3 cup half and half
4-5 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil, leaving a 1 inch
overhang. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
To prepare the cookie dough, beat together the butter and
sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, salt, and
half and
half. Stir in the flour until incorporated. Set aside.
To make the fudge base, combine the brown sugar, butter,
salt, and half and half in a saucepan. Stir over medium low heat until the
butter has melted and the brown sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and
slowly stir in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is smooth
and well combined. Stir in the vanilla.
Add the cookie dough to the fudge base and stir to combine.
Mix in the chocolate chips.
Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish. Chill until
set, at least 3 hours.
Keep in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Just wanted to show off my lovely kitchen aid! It brings me much happiness and makes many wonderful desserts for me!
