I don’t know about you, but when I make chocolate chip cookies, I generally look forward to eating the dough more than I do actually eating the finished cookie. So why not just start and end with the delicious cookie dough? That’s what this easy fudge does. It tastes just like chocolate chip cookie dough, and the extra good news is that it’s also a no-bake treat that’s egg-free and totally safe to eat. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not.
Did you know that when it comes to eating raw cookie dough, it’s the uncooked flour that’s more of an issue than the raw eggs? This fudge version eliminates both problems with one simple trick. You just have to nuke the flour in the microwave for a quick minute to get rid of any nasties and you’re good to go.
You beat together some classic cookie dough ingredients – butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla…
… before stirring in the cooked flour and some white chocolate that’s been melted with some sweetened condensed milk.
Once the chocolate chips have been added, all you have to do is spread the mixture into a pan and let it chill until it’s firm. The white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk give it a moist texture that’s very similar to cookie dough, so finally, you can have your delicious dough and eat it too!
