Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge

A sweet & creamy fudge that tastes exactly like chocolate chip cookie dough! No eggs so it’s perfectly safe to eat. If you’re looking for an extra sweet treat this Holiday and Christmas season then you have to try this chocolate chip cookie dough fudge!


This chocolate chip cookie dough fudge has a massive amount of sugar so if you’re on a no-sugar diet (during the Holidays?!? I could never do that!) or just don’t like putting cups and cups of sugar into a recipe then you should probably look away. But since you are here I am assuming you love the idea of chocolate chip cookie dough fudge as much as I do.

I’ll be honest and say that I have never been a fan of fudge. Believe it or not, I actually don’t like super sweet desserts. I know being a food blogger you would think otherwise but I’ve never cared for fudge because I feel like I need to go brush my teeth ten times over again after eating it. And, I actually did that after eating this cookie dough fudge, haha!

But……. I can always make an exception for anything cookie dough! Cookie dough anything is one of my food weaknesses. I can’t say no. Same thing with peanut butter + chocolate. I just can’t resist no matter how sweet or loaded with sugar it is 🙂 

This fudge is so good you guys. Like seriously, just make it. It’s Christmas so I think everyone is allowed to make an extra sweet sugar-filled treat.

 You mix up a simple egg-less cookie dough and then combine some ingredients in a saucepan on the stove top. Let it cool completely and then combine the two. It really is so simple to make. The hardest part is letting it firm up in the fridge for a few hours before you can taste it.

I thought that the fudge got less sweet the longer it sat in the fridge. So keep it in the fridge if the sugar hits you too hard at first.

This fudge makes a great addition to a Christmas cookie plate. If you love all things cookie dough then I know you’ll love this fudge. Tastes exactly like cookie dough but in sweet fudge form and there are no eggs in it so you can safely eat it.

Be sure and cut this into really small squares. It’s fudge so it’s going to be sweet and one square will usually satisfy the sweet tooth. Unless you’re like my 3 year old that could basically live off of sugar coma inducing sweet treats 🙂 

Thanks for visiting and let me know if you try this!
