Homemade fudge rounds are just as soft and flavorful as the store-bought version, minus all the preservatives! These are easy to make in just over half an hour.

Ingredients
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ⅔ cup natural cocoa powder
- 1 ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 ½ Tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose four
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Chocolate Frosting Filling
- ¾ cup butter softened (1 ½ sticks)
- 3 cups powdered sugar divided
- 4 ½ Tablespoons natural cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 Tablespoons heavy cream divided
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Stripes
- 1 cup milk chocolate melting wafers or you may substitute 1 cup milk chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon shortening
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cut butter into Tablespoon-sized pieces and place in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 15-second increments (stirring between) until butter is completely melted.
- Stir in cocoa powder until completely combined. Make sure the butter/cocoa is no longer warm to the touch before proceeding with the recipe.
- Add sugar and stir well.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, and water. Stir well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
- Scoop cookie dough by 1 ½ Tbsp-sized scoops and drop by rounded spoonful onto prepared cookie sheet, placing cookie dough scoops at least 2" apart.
- Bake on 350F for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before filling.
Frosting
- In a stand mixer, beat butter until well-creamed.
- Add 1 cup of sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle in salt. Stir until combined.
- Add 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream, stir well.
- Add another cup of sugar and stir, followed by 2 more Tablespoons of cream. Repeat with remaining sugar and cream, and then stir in vanilla extract.
- Pair off your cooled cookies into sandwich pairs, and then generously spread or pipe frosting/filling onto the bottom of one cookie, sandwiching with the bottom of another, until all cookie pairs are filled.
- Melt chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions (or, if using milk chocolate chips and shortening, microwave chips and shortening at 15-second increments, stirring well in-between), until chocolate is completely melted.
- Pour chocolate into small Ziploc bag and snip a small piece out of the corner.
- Pipe melted chocolate over cookies. Allow chocolate to harden before serving (melting wafers chocolate will harden much faster than chocolate chip/shortening chocolate).
