How to Make Christmas Fudge Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a teaspoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
