    Fudge Stripe Cookies are just like Keebler's fudge stripe cookies only healthier! My fudge stripe cookies recipe is free of sugar and oil. A wonderful shortbread cookie with chocolate fudge coating.

    My Fudge Stripe Cookies are a buttery shortbread dipped in dark chocolate, but unlike the commercial variety, mine have no sugar or oil. Plus they are high in protein and fiber! How many times can you say that about a cookie!

    Why You'll Love These Cookies

    One-bowl, 4-ingredients. It's so easy to toss all these ingredients in a bowl, mix up batter, chill and cut.

    A Healthier cookie. For a shortbread, this cookie is healthier, with 2 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. And none of the additives and unhealthy saturated fats found in the commercial version. These are healthier cookies like my vegan molasses cookies, my chocolate sugar cookies and my old fashioned hermit cookies.

    Ingredients

    almond flour - use finely ground, not almond meal

    nut butter - I used cashew butter.

    maple syrup - has magical minerals that cane sugar does not.

    vanilla - give the shortbread that buttery flavor

    chocolate chips - use at least 70% to offset the sweet cookie flavor

    Okay, so back to this recipe...

    Steps to Make

    Here is a brief rundown of the steps, but be sure to drop down to the recipe card to see the full recipe spelled out step by step!

    1. Mix up the flour, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and salt in a bowl. Stir with a spoon until you have a dough. Set the dough covered in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.

    2. Roll the dough out about ¼ inch thick between the two sheets of parchment paper.

    3. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut 2-inch circles, and use a small ½ cap or piping tip to cut out center holes. Try to cut circles on one side, leaving a space on the other side to re-roll the scraps. I like to roll and bake on the same parchment-line pan for ease.

    4. Bake for 12 minutes or until edges begin to turn toasty. Cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

    5. Once cookies are cooled - about 30 minutes - prepare the dipping chocolate. Microwave the chocolate for 60 seconds, and stir until all chips or chunks are melted.

    6. Dip each cookie so the bottoms are dipped. Let them set upside down. It will take care to keep the chocolate from dripping and smearing on the top of the cookie.

    7. Chill the dipped cookies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then pipe lines of chocolate on top. I put the chocolate in a piping bag with a writing tip, but you can use a ziplock bag with the corner cup off as well.

    Recipe Tips

    Chilling notes. If the dough is still difficult to roll after a 10 minute chill, chill for another 20 minutes, no more than 30 minutes total.

    Alternate flavors. The shortbread is so simple it's easy to flavor it slightly with extracts, either orange, or mint, or lavender. The same with the chocolate dip.

    This cookie is gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free and refined-sugar-free.

    How to Store

    The cookies will soften over time, but they keep in a sealed container for about 4 days at room temperature.

    FAQS

    These cookies are one of many made famous by the commercial bakery, Keebler. Here are some questions people have about them.

    What Kind of Cookie is a Fudge Stripe?

    Who Makes Fudge Stripe Cookies?

    The commercial version is called "Keebler Fudge Stripes Cookies" and produced by the Keebler company starting in 1984. My version is vegan and gluten-free and has no refined sugar or preservatives.
