Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • wax or parchment paper

Fudge Filling:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
  • ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in egg yolk and vanilla.
  • Combine flour and baking powder in a small bowl and gradually add to cream mixture.
  • Roll out dough between two sheets of 12"x10" sheets of wax paper. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe mixing bowl in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval. When chocolate is melted, add in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
  • Remove dough from fridge and remove wax paper from dough. Spread fudge mixture onto dough, leaving about a ½ inch on each of two opposite ends (so you can roll it up).
  • Roll dough and fudge filling up jelly roll style (like a cinnamon roll). Refrigerate for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350° while you're waiting.
  • Cut dough log into ¼-inch slices, and place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake about 6-9 minutes at 350°, until edges are very lightly browned. Let cookies sit on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack. (The fudge makes them very gooey, and they need a bit to set)

    Much to my dismay, this recipe, Fudge Butter Cookie Pinwheels, is lacking the oven temperature which will be a problem for me since my dough is cooling in the refrigerator as I write this. Good grief!
