What To Do With Failed Fudge

This recipe came about out of a sense of urgency. Here’s the story: I have successfully made a marshmallow chocolate fudge recipe. The recipe was perfect but it was also colder out; and as I’ve come to learn the hard way… fudge is very temperamental. If it’s humid the fudge will not set no matter what, not even in the freezer. Feeling the urge to not be wasteful and throw the failed attempts out I am using my two failed fudge recipes today: Cheesecake fudge attempt number 2 and Marshmallow Pecan fudge attempt number 2. I wanted to make something like an ice cream sandwich recipe, but without the ice cream and I thought to try making shortbread cookies, and break in my new cookie cutters, and also re-purpose my failed fudge as a decadent filling.

Difficulty level is: Medium

Ingredients • 1 ¾ sticks butter, at room temperature • ½ cup sugar • 1 tbsp vanilla extract • 1 egg • 3 cups all-purpose flour • ¼ tsp salt • 2 tsp baking powder

Assembly/Method Shortbread Cookies 1. Preheat oven to 300°F. 2. Mix together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment for 4 minutes. 3. Add the egg and reduce speed to low then add the flour slowly along with the salt and baking powder until combined. 4. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. 5. Lightly flour your working surface and roll out the dough until its 1 inch thick. 6. Use the cookie cutters to stamp out cookies. 7. Now place dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. 8. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden. 9. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Cookie Assembly 1. Spread the fudge spread into the middle of each cookie and place a second cookie on top, making a sandwich. Keep in mind not to spread the filling all the way to the edges. 2. Let the cookies set for a couple of hours and enjoy.

Reviews “ OMG, the shortbread is sooo insanely good!! Thank you. They look so yummy and shortbread is my weakness. oohhhhhhlalalalala!” “Thank you for the yummy cookies … you are so thoughtful!! “

My thoughts It felt great not wasting my failed recipes. The shortbread turned out well, just golden on the edges and crumbly. Mr. C loved these so much; he ate some of my cookies I had stashed away to practice my cookie decorating skills on. Luckily I caught him before he had the chance to eat them all.
