3. Pour: Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared pan and allow to set for at least 4 hours.
4. Cut: Cut the fudge into 1″ pieces and prepare the cookie dough.

Cookies

1. Beat: Add the butter and sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or use an electric mixer and a large bowl) and beat until well combined and fluffy.
2. Mix: Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition and then add the vanilla extract.
3. Whisk: In a separate bowl, add all the dry ingredients and whisk together.
