Ingredients
Chocolate Fudge Sauce:
- 120 g cup dark or bittersweet chocolate
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk 6oz or slightly less than half of 1 14oz can
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter 28g
Cookies:
- ½ cup unsalted butter 113g
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar 67g
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed (67g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 130g
- ⅓ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder 35g
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Make the Chocolate Fudge Sauce
- Melt chocolate and sweetened condensed milk on low heat, stirring until smooth and shiny.
- Mix in butter until fully combined. The sauce will be thick, so it's easy to scoop.
Scoop and Freeze the Fudge
- Scoop the fudge into small balls (about 1 tablespoon or 30g each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the fudge balls until firm.
Make the Cookie Dough
- Beat butter and sugars with a mixer for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
- Add an egg and mix for 30 seconds.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients in two parts. Use a spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until you get a sticky dough.
Assemble the Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (not using the fan). Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 6 portions (about 75g each). Flatten a piece into a circle about 3-4 inches wide.
- Put a frozen fudge ball in the center, fold the dough over it, and seal it so the fudge is covered. Roll it into a smooth ball.
- Place the dough balls on the baking sheet with 3-4 inches of space between them.
Bake and Enjoy
- Bake at 375°F for 12-13 minutes. Sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar and enjoy them warm.
