These oh-so-delicious Fudge Ripple Cookies are soft, rich and chewy. They're fun to make, drizzled with fudge & colorful sprinkles and even more fun to eat!
Are you a cookies for a snack kind of person? How about cookies and ice cream? This combo is like a pair made in heaven. After all, who doesn't like cookies AND ice cream?! And to top it all off it is National Ice Cream Month too! It's a win-win all the way around.
Have you ever made a cookie that was the exact flavor of your favorite ice cream? I've made Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies and Butter Pecan Cookies and they came out delicious and super popular. So I thought, why not make some vanilla fudge cookies, or chocolate ripple as I like to call them, to satisfy my chocolate craving.
It would be full of vanilla flavor and have a rich swirl of fudge running through the cookie and would pair nicely with about any flavor of ice cream you can think of. I paired mine with my homemade rich dark chocolate ice cream and WOW! they were out-of-this-world delicious! (especially as an ice cream sandwich which my husband can vouch for since he has eaten them for dessert every night since I made them)
The cookies turned out soft and chewy and definitely full of rich vanilla flavor. Use a good vanilla, if you have it, such as Nielsen Massey Madagascar Pure Vanilla. And as long as you are working with the best vanilla, try to find a top quality rich ice cream fudge topping too. The combination of real vanilla and excellent chocolate can't be beat!
These are great alone, with a side of ice cream, and make terrific ice cream sandwiches too. I actually made some ice cream sandwiches with them and froze them individually in plastic wrap and they come out of the freezer ice cold and ready to eat. The perfect treat for a hot summer day!
I did my usual, sending the cookies into work with my husband and, they went over so well, they ate them all in just a couple of hours. And here I thought they would last through the week - silly me! I sure hope you enjoy them as much as they did.

Fudge Ripple Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3.4 oz pkg Jello vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Fudge ice cream topping
- Multi-colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour and baking soda together. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars in mixing bowl until smooth. Continue beating while adding pudding mix, eggs and vanilla.
- Spray a rectangular baking dish with nonstick spray. Place cookie dough in dish and press down for an even surface. Drizzle fudge sauce over dough. Fold dough in half so fudge is completely covered. (You don't want the fudge to be on the outside of the cookie as it will melt over the edges and become sticky when trying to release cookies.)
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2" in-between. Sprinkle with brightly colored sprinkles. (They look like little ice cream sundaes before they are cooked :-))
- Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges. Let cool for 3 minutes on cookie sheets then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
