Ingredients for this Delicious Sugar Cookie Fudge Recipe

Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page for the detailed ingredient measurements. 

• Sweetened Condensed Milk: Sweetened condensed milk is crucial as it provides the binding agent that holds the fudge together. It also adds moisture content and brings its own flavor.
• White Chocolate Chips: Every delicious fudge stems from a chocolate base so this one will be a white chocolate fudge to give it a more festive and holiday theme.
• Butter: Butter adds a rich and indulgent flavor to fudge, especially if you use a high-quality brand.
• Sugar Cookie Mix: The cookie mix will need to be heat treated since it will be consumed raw. Make sure to read the next section to learn what to do.
• Vanilla Extract: We will be adding vanilla extract to enhance the vanilla flavor of the sugar cookie, so it isn’t overpowered by the white chocolate.
• Sprinkles: It can’t be a Christmas cookie fudge recipe without red and green sprinkles! You can also turn this into any holiday or event treat by changing up the sprinkles you use.

Important Note: Heat Treating the Sugar Cookie Mix

Since the cookie mix has raw flour which may contain bacteria, you will have to heat treat first before consuming. There are two easy and fast ways you can do this:

• Oven: Preheat the oven to 350F, spread the cookie mixture across a baking pan, and bake it for 5 minutes.
• Microwave: Microwave the raw flour in a bowl for 30 seconds at a time, mixing and stirring in between each interval. Repeat this process until reading that the internal temperature is at 160F by using a thermometer.
