Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and add Eagle Brand milk; mix well.
- Add sifted flour and mix thoroughly.
- Stir in nuts and vanilla until evenly combined.
- Drop teaspoon-sized portions onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes until cookies are set.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips, as they significantly enhance the flavor of the cookies. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or substitute with additional chocolate chips. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, like dark or white chocolate, to create unique variations. If you're short on time, consider using pre-made cookie dough as a base.
Serving Suggestions
These fudge cookies are delicious on their own but also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Consider serving them alongside a cup of coffee or hot cocoa for a cozy treat. For an impressive brunch, serve them with Deluxe Strawberry French Toast as part of a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to three months. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F until just heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for these cookies?
Absolutely! You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips, or even a mix of different chocolates for a unique flavor profile. Just ensure the total weight remains the same to maintain the cookie's consistency.
What can I use instead of Eagle Brand milk?
If you don't have Eagle Brand milk, you can substitute it with sweetened condensed milk from another brand. Alternatively, you can make a homemade version by combining regular milk with sugar, though this may alter the texture slightly.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they've set around the edges but may still look slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
