CONDENSED MILK COOKIES 🍪

I had a beaker of condensed milk sitting in my fridge due to an accident from one of the previous recipes I'd made. (I had poured out too much condensed milk before realising I didn't need it anymore.)

So I was pinteresting condensed milk recipes and there were some cakes and drinks and brownies etc. But the cookies really caught my eye and they looked relatively easy to make.

So I decided to give it a try!

Recipe

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter

2 tablespoons sugar

200ml condensed milk

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 250°C

2. Using a mixer, mix together the wet ingredients (butter and sugar)

3. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk.

4. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt)

5. Mix both wet and dry ingredients together

6. Add the chocolate chips to the batter and use a rubber spatula to fold them in.

7. Roll the resulting batter into small balls.

8. Place on a parchment paper lined sheet about 1 and a half inches apart, and flatten the dough balls slightly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes

I thought the cookies would expand so I made them into dense flattened circles. But in the end they didn't.. I later heard from my friend that normally cookies don't expand when baked so one must spread them out or risk the middle being uncooked.

A tip to take note next time!

The cookies turned out great! At first before they cooled, they were crumbly and melt-in-your-mouth. After they cooled, they became harder but still crumbly and sweet, which became their signature taste. I sneaked one to give to my friend and she said she enjoyed it ^^
