Fudge Puddles Recipe
These Fudge Puddles are a delicious combination of a soft chocolate cookie and a creamy fudge filling. They’re easy to make, and the result is absolutely mouthwatering!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. The cookies should look soft but set.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the fudge filling by heating the sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.
- When the cookies come out of the oven, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb. Carefully spoon a small amount of the fudge filling into the center of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
These Fudge Puddles are not only a treat for your taste buds but also a great way to impress friends and family. The chocolatey goodness and gooey center make them irresistible. Enjoy baking and sharing these delightful cookies!
