You will just die for this Double Chocolate Cookie Hot Fudge Sundae! Seriously. If there were such a thing as death by chocolate, this may be the murder weapon. Be sure to use cookies that are hot from the oven and don’t think the toppings have to stop at nuts. More chocolate!
Ingredients for Double Chocolate Chip Cookie:
1 cup butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pure vanilla or extract
1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips for a sweeter vibe)
Ingredients for Hot Fudge:
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla or extract
2/3 cup half-n-half
Notes: Makes 3-4 dozen cookies and one and one half cups hot fudge. To make the sundae, you’ll also need the ice cream of your choice, chopped walnuts or other toppings.
Directions:
Make the cookie dough.
1) In an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars.
2) Add baking soda and salt.
3) Add vanilla and eggs, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl when needed.
4) Add cocoa powder.
5) Mix in flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
6) For best results, chill overnight in the refrigerator or place dough in the freezer for at least one hour before making cookies.
7) Bake cookies in a preheated 365 (F) oven for 10 minutes.
Make the Hot Fudge:
1) In a saucepan over medium – low heat, melt chocolate chips and butter. Stir frequently so the chocolate does not scorch.
2) Add sugar. Mixture will become grainy. Incorporate sugar completely before adding cream.
3) Add vanilla and incorporate completely.
4) Gradually stir in cream (half-n-half).
5) Cook mixture stirring frequently. When mixture begins to bubble slightly, cook for 8 minutes more, stirring more often. If bubbling becomes excessive, turn the heat down to low.
6) Remove from heat and pour into a heat resistant bowl. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Makes about 1 1/2 cups hot fudge. Store covered and refrigerated for 1-2 weeks. Sugar will begin to crystallize after 1 week. To reheat, microwave 20 seconds, stir and repeat as needed. Fudge still has the potential to scorch in the microwave… be careful!
Make the Sundae:
1) Place a piping hot, fresh-from-the-oven cookie on a plate.
2) Scoop a single serving of ice cream on top of cookie.
3) Top with a generous serving of hot fudge.
4) Garnish with walnut pieces.
5) Share and enjoy.

I’m new to the world of cooking/baking. I though me and the stove/oven had an unspoken rule of keeping our distance from each other. We could co-exist but never interact. Well, all that has changed thanks to AverageBetty and this recipe, and in the process, this cookie sundaes have saved my marriage!! My wife loved them so much she’s willing to overlook a number of my shortcomings if I promise to make them regularly for her ( I must admit, I like them a lot too!!). Anyhow, you must try this recipe! Outstanding.
Thanks, AverageBetty
Hey Sergio! Thank you for the sweet (and I do mean sweet) words! I am so happy to reacquaint you with your kitchen appliances! They really are fun to be around aren’t they?
And, wow… I never thought of the Cookie Sundae as a marital aid – totally awesome!
xo,
Betty
Hi Betty,
I wish you could feature non bake cakes, b’coz honestly we dont have an oven at home.. (in our country, Philippines, oven is not a necessity, so long as you have a gas stove, you’re good to go)

Pinay!
How wonderful to hear from you! There are ways to “bake” cakes on the stovetop… I’ll need to do some experimenting, but I would love to come up with a recipe for you. What a great concept for a show!
What kind of cakes do you like? Chocolate? Vanilla? Fruit?
Have you ever tried making pancakes? They are a breakfast food here, but are quick and easy like cookies and might work for the Chocolate Cookie Sundae… I need to do some experimenting…
If you can dream it up, I’ll try to make it for you!
xo,
Betty
Can you tell me how much a cup is? Or tell me the weight of the Ingredients (In metric or imperial) so I can make your delicious looking Cookie Sundae.
Thanks
Hi K. Tuck,
Thanks for stopping by :)
I am sure going to *try* to help! To get you started, I found that:

1 cup [US] = 0.4296835 pint [US, dry]
1 cup [US] = 15.7725492 Tablespoon [metric]

Hi Betty, I love your recipes for desserts! I’m just wondering, if you could make a video or recipe directions for making cinnamon buns. (My mom loves to eat them, so I want to make them for her)
Thank you :)
Linda.
Linda – I’m working on a cinnamon bun recipe now! My niece loves cinnamon buns too… so I hope to have the recipe up soon :)
In the meantime, I do have a cinnamon swirl bread recipe published – http://www.averagebetty.com/recipes/cinnamon-swirl-bread-recipe/
This looks absolutely delicious… I would have to omit a few ingredients to have this one.
That’s the best part about a sundae — you get to make it however you like :)
