Instructions
- Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or buttered aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang for easy lifting.
- Combine butter and sugars in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Mix in vanilla, salt, and half-and-half or cream. Add flour and mix until incorporated.
- To prepare the fudge base, combine brown sugar, butter, salt, and half-and-half in a saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until butter is melted and brown sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Slowly stir in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until mixture is smooth and sugar is incorporated. Stir in vanilla. At this point, the mixture should have cooled to room temperature; if not, continue stirring until it’s no longer warm to the touch.
- Add cookie dough and crème fraîche or sour cream (if using) and stir to incorporate. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spread fudge into the prepared pan. Chill until set, at least 3 hours. Cut into squares and serve. Fudge will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or frozen, double wrapped in plastic and bagged, for up to 3 months.
Notes
- To heat-treat raw flour, measure out a bit more flour than you'll actually need in your final recipe and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for a minute or so, stirring every 20-30 seconds, until a digital thermometer inserted into the center of the flour reads 165 degrees F. You can also spread the flour in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 3 to 5 minutes or until it reads 165 degrees F. Let the flour cool completely before using, and then sift it to remove any leftover chunks.
