Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crunchy Cookie Base:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed sugar cookies
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
- For the Fudge Layer:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped frosted sugar cookies
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
- Extra cookie bits and sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed sugar cookies, melted butter, and granulated sugar if using. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a saucepan over low heat or a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, melt the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter together, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, almond extract if using, and salt. Mix well.
- Gently fold in the chopped frosted sugar cookies and holiday sprinkles. Stir just until combined to prevent sprinkles from bleeding.
- Pour the fudge mixture over the cooled crust. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
- While the fudge is still soft, sprinkle additional chopped sugar cookies and sprinkles evenly over the top. Lightly press them in.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
- Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into clean, even squares.
Notes
- Use store-bought frosted sugar cookies for convenience or homemade for extra flavor.
- For best slicing, use a sharp knife cleaned between cuts.
- Fudge can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.
