There are just four simple ingredients in this sugar cookie Christmas fudge. Here’s what you’ll need before you begin.

How to Make Christmas Sugar Cookie Fudge
- Step One: Prepare a small square pan (8 x 8 or similar size) by lining it with parchment paper (or aluminum foil, coated with cooking spray).
- Step Two: Combine White Baking Chips, Sweetened Condensed Milk, and Butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until melted. It should take 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Step Three: Stir to ensure all the white chocolate mixture is melted, then add 2/3 of the Christmas-themed Sprinkles, stirring them in. Add the Sugar Cookie Mix and stir until smooth.
- Step Four: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles over the top.
- Step Five: Cover the fudge with plastic wrap, place it in the refrigerator, and allow it to set for 2 hours or overnight.
- Step Six: Lift the fudge from the baking dish by pulling up the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares of desired size. Serve at room temperature. Enjoy!

Variations and Substitutions

Storage Instructions
I recommend cutting the sugar cookie fudge into pieces and storing them in a plastic baggie, airtight container, or even a plate with some plastic wrap.
Store your fudge at room temperature. It’s best enjoyed within the first three days. Honestly, I kept it longer, and it was fine.
Christmas Sugar Cookie Fudge Tips and Tricks
- Melt the white chocolate chips slowly. Stir well in between each round in the microwave.
- Give it plenty of time to set. This no-bake recipe is easy, but it takes time to set up.
- Add the fudge to your Christmas cookie trays. If you do, don’t forget to add plenty of pretty sprinkles.
- Use it as an edible gift. Place it in a decorative tin. Line the tin with wax paper so it protects the fudge.
How long does fudge need to set before cutting?
Let it set in the refrigerator for at least two hours to get the perfect creamy fudge. But It’s best to let it set for at least three hours. I let the creamy white chocolate fudge set overnight, and it’s always perfect the following day.
Can I Use Evaporated Milk Instead of Sweetened Condensed Milk?
No, don’t use evaporated milk in this Christmas fudge recipe. If you do, the fudge won’t be nearly as creamy and definitely won’t be as sweet. Evaporated milk is just thicker milk, so it isn’t as sweet.
Can I Use Actual Sugar Cookies?
I don’t recommend using crushed real cookies. They have the wrong texture and will make your fudge taste grainy.
FAQ
Yes, you can freeze the fudge. Store it in freezer-safe containers for up to three months. If you’re storing the fudge in layers in a container, put a piece of parchment paper between the fudge layers.
No, this fudge isn’t gluten-free. Use a gluten-free sugar cookie mix if you need it to be gluten-free.
This recipe makes about 20 pieces, depending on how big you slice them.
