Cookie Dough Fudge is a cross between chocolate chip cookie dough and delicious, creamy fudge! This no bake treat comes together quickly and will satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth!
No Bake Cookie Dough + Fudge = Match Made in HEAVEN!!
Generally I don’t think cookie dough & fudge is a combination we naturally think of, but it’s everything good, friends. I PROMISE! it tastes JUST LIKE cookie dough but has that soft texture of fudge.
No bake & scrumptious. You really can’t ask for much more than that!
Call me weird, but I kind of like the grainy texture you get with cookie dough. You know what I’m talking about, all that sugar! No need to fret, the fudge is silky smooth, with the slightest bit of grit from the raw sugars. HEART EYES FOR DAYS!
This combination is going to be just as famous as Amanda and Graham from The Holiday. (side note: is it too early to watch this movie on repeat?)
Ingredients in Cookie Dough Fudge
- mini chocolate chips– We will actually put these in the freezer to begin with, because the fudge is warm, we need the chocolate chips frozen so they don’t immediately melt when we fold them into the fudge.
- salted butter– This is the base of the edible cookie dough. If you only have unsalted, add an extra pinch of salt to the dough.
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar
- milk– this replaces the egg in our cookie dough. Just enough liquid to bring the dough together!
- vanilla extract
- all-purpose flour– no need to worry, we will heat treat the flour so it is safe to eat!
- salt
- Ghirardelli white chocolate chips– YES, this brand is a must. Other brands tend to not set up.
- sweetened condensed milk– the sweetened condensed milk melted together with the white chocolate chips will make our fudge base.
How to make Cookie Dough Fudge
- First things first, toss your mini chocolate chips into the FREEZER! This will help prevent the chocolate melting later on when the chips are folded into the fudge.
- Now, to the good stuff. We will make No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. This is made just like regular ol’ cookie dough, minus the eggs.
- Cream butter, sugars, milk and vanilla together in a bowl.
- Heat treat your flour by microwaving it for 30 seconds to 1 minute- until it is 165°.
- Add the flour and salt to the mixture and mix until a cookie dough forms. Set aside.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, add white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. A small note about the white chocolate. Quality matters here. I recommend Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips. Splurge and get the quality white chocolate chips. (And I am the cheapest… THRIFTIEST.. person out there!)
- Melt the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk together, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour the hot mixture into the cookie dough bowl.
- Using an electric hand mixer, mix the contents of the bowl until nice and smooth.
- Pull the mini chocolate chips out of the freezer and fold the chocolate chips into the fudge.
- Line a 8×8 square pan with parchment paper. Pour the fudge into the pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm before cutting. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Why did my fudge not set up?
If your fudge didn’t set up there are a few possibilities of what went wrong. First, did you use the recommended brand of white chocolate chips? Second, did you make sure to microwave the fudge mixture for a full 2 minutes? This will make sure that the mixture gets hot enough to set correctly.
Can I freeze my Cookie Dough Fudge?
Absolutely! Freeze in an air tight container for up to 3 months. You can pull the fudge from the freezer and thaw it slowly in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Made this today. Your recipe was super easy to follow! I would reduce the amount of sugar next time (tomorrow, anticipating it won’t last the night!) but it was picture perfect and very yummy!
So delicious. The texture and flavor are perfection. Thank you for sharing!
Have you made this with brown butter? If so, how was it? Thanks😊
I haven’t, but that sounds amazing. If you give it a try, please let me know how it turns out!
This looks so good! Do you think this recipe would work with gluten free flour?
Yes, it should work! Just make sure to heat-treat it the same as the all-purpose flour.
it was really yummy. i don’t think i left left the chocolate in the freezer long enough because the top swirled, but it looks pretty. i can really taste the sweetened condensed milk. it’s really good. thanks for the recipe!
If you wanted to cut it could you wrap it in parchment or wax paper to give away?
Yes, you totally can!
Karli,
I’m so happy you’ve added gram measurements! Thank you so much!

I’m in Canada and can’t find Ghirardelli white chocolate chips anywhere (except Amazon for $25 a bag 😳). I don’t even see them on their website Would their swiss white chocolate bar work or would I be better to go with a good quality Belgian melting chocolate wafers?
Hi Sandy – I haven’t tried other brands, but melting wafers should set up well, too.
Instant hit with everyone who tries it!
This recipe is great. The only issue was my fault so I will share it with you. After I hear treated the flour it got a little clumpy and I figured it cc would work itself out it did not. (I ended up putting the entire recipe minus chips through a sieve), so it wouldn’t hurt to sift your flour after heat treating it.
I heated up the white chips and condensed milk before cranking so it would start cooling after reading about all the melted chips. And I had put the bag of mini chips in the freezer after I bought them so they had been in there 2 days.
After I got the clumps sifted out the clumps (my fault) and mixed in the chips it looked perfect no melting. They look great and taste better. Another winner!
