Do you love Christmas cookies? What about fudge?
In my world, sugar cookies are pretty much the best thing ever. Especially ones with sprinkles on top! Sweet, chewy, buttery goodness. Mmmmm… so good!
I also go crazy for some good homemade fudge — especially around the holidays. (Don’t miss my go-to chocolate peanut butter fudge recipe.)
So, I thought what better treat to make this Christmas than a sugar cookie flavored fudge?

How to Make Sugar Cookie Fudge
Start by gathering everything that you will need, which will be simple since this fudge recipe only calls for 5 simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- white chocolate chips
- sugar cookie mix
- sweetened condensed milk
- butter
- Christmas sprinkles (or rainbow sprinkles if you prefer)
Supplies
- 9 x 9 baking dish
- parchment paper
- non-stick spray
- large pot
- spoon / spatula, for stirring
Now it is time to get down to business.
Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and a thin layer of non-stick spray and set aside. The parchment paper and non-stick spray will help you remove the fudge easily once it has set.
Next, heat the sweetened condensed milk over medium heat in a large pot. Once hot, stir in the white chocolate chips, sugar cookie mix, and butter.
Continue to heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Once the mixture is smooth, stir in some sprinkles.
Finally, pour the fudge mixture into your prepared baking dish and then top with lots more sprinkles.
Place in the refrigerator and allow to set overnight, or until firm (at least 2 hours). Slice and serve.

Note: The recipe was updated in 2021 to include butter, which was not in the original ingredient list. This makes the recipe 5 ingredients, rather than the 4 ingredients it used to be. If you came here from a pin or post that said it has 4 ingredients, this is why.
Hello! Do you use a 6.25 oz bag of cookie mix, or 17.5? Thank you!
I use Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix in a 17.5 ounce bag. Be sure to only use 1.5 cups of the mix in the recipe though, not the whole bag. Enjoy!
Is it safe to consume the uncooked cookie mix or does the stove top cook it enough?
I am far from a food safety expert or food scientist but from my understanding as long as the raw flour in the mix is heated to 165 degree F it should be okay. You can heat treat the cookie mix in the oven or microwave before making the fudge to be extra safe.
does the fudge need to reach 165 degrees before pouring in pan to set?
No need to check temperature, just make sure that the mixture is melted and smooth.
This is one of the easiest and tastiest fudge recipes I’ve found. No need for candy thermometer or worrying about temperature. I’ve made it twice and it’s came out perfect both times. Everyone who try’s it, loves it.
I just made it but I’m concerned about it. It looks and feels like it’s going to end up being a bake pan of cookie dough. Is it supposed to completely melt down?
The fudge mixture should have been melted and smooth before removing it from the heat.
So glad that you enjoy it!
I actually made this with snickerdoodle cookie mix instead of sugar cookie, and I may try it with pumpkin spice as well as gingerbread in the future… makes it so much easier!!!
I’d really like to make this fudge, but am concerned about the “melting sprinkles/ugly fudge ” issue commented on in several posts. Would really hate to waste ingredients.
Is there a specific brand of sprinkles you use, or just the kind you find in the grocery store? I’m considering purchasing several pounds worth from The Bulk Barn, but…not sure if it would be wise for this recipe. Thanks in advance, from a -10°F, + blowing snow, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 afternoon.
I have used various brands of sprinkles I pick up at my local grocery store as well as sprinkles from Walmart and/or Target. I have not experienced this issue. I would just be sure to not over-stir the mixture when adding the sprinkles, which could cause them to melt. Add the sprinkles and stir gently, just until they are distributed throughout the mixture.
i added sprinkles and stirred gently and they still kinda melted in but it still looks red and green christmasy i just put it in the fridge to harden up hope i like it!
could I add nuts instead of sprinkles?
Yes! Enjoy!
does the butter need to be salted or unsalted?
either one is fine for this recipe
I found it had more sugar cookie taste if I added 1 tsp of vanilla
I am going to have to try adding 1 tsp of vanilla extract next time. I bet that would make it even more delicious. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for sharing this tip
can I make my own sugar cookie mix? just any recipe of it? I found only one Recipe online that doesnt just use sugar cookie mix.. but not sure I trust it.
I haven’t tried the recipe with DIY sugar cookie mix but it I think that would work just fine. If you do decide to give it a try please let us know how it comes out.
If you’re afraid of the ugly fudge, just put the sprinkles on top instead of in the fudge before refrigerating them.
Great idea! That really would solve the problem some are experiencing.
