Chocolate Chip Condensed Milk Cookies

Chocolate chip condensed milk cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.

They are made with simple ingredients, and the condensed milk gives the cookies a rich and creamy flavor, while the chocolate chips add a touch of sweetness and decadence.

Condensed milk is a key ingredient in these tender cookies because it adds sweetness, moisture, and a rich, creamy texture to the dough.

Because condensed milk is made by removing most of the water content from regular milk and adding sugar, it has a higher sugar content and a thicker consistency than regular milk.

This makes it a great substitute for both sugar and liquid ingredients in cookie recipes. In this recipe, it also replaces the eggs, so this is an eggless cookie recipe.

In addition to its sweet and creamy flavor, condensed milk also helps to bind the ingredients together and keep the cookies soft and chewy.

Overall, adding condensed milk to cookie dough can result in a more decadent, flavorful, and tender cookie.

I love using condensed milk in cookies, so be sure to also try these Condensed Milk Cookies. If you're looking for more ways to use it, check out this huge list of Condensed Milk Recipes.

Ingredients

  • Condensed milk - unsurprisingly, you're going to need some sweetened condensed milk for these cookies!
  • Flour - just your regular plain flour / all-purpose flour.
  • Butter - Ideally unsalted, but if you only have salted, then that will work too (no need to add additional salt to the cookies).
  • Sugar - Granulated white sugar.
  • Baking powder - to make the cookies slightly fluffy.
  • Salt - omit if using salted butter.
  • Vanilla extract - I like pure vanilla extract.
  • Chocolate chips - Use your favorite: semisweet, dark, milk, white etc...

See the recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Follow this step-by-step photo tutorial, then scroll down to the recipe card for the full ingredients list and method.

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line cookie sheets with baking parchment paper.

Stages of mixing the cookie dough.

Add the butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and cream together by beating with an electric mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Add the condensed milk and vanilla and beat again.

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Then stir it into the butter mixture, a little at a time.

Roll teaspoon-sized balls of the condensed milk cookie dough and place them onto the prepared cookie sheets. Press each one down slightly with a fork or the heel of your hand.

Place the cookie sheets in the oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they just begin to turn slightly golden, but don’t overbake them.

Allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5 minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage

Store: Condensed milk cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Freeze: For best results, freeze the unbaked cookie dough. Then thaw it in the fridge, roll into balls, press down lightly and bake as per the recipe card below.

Top Tips

  1. For best results, make sure your butter is at room temperature before you begin baking. This helps to ensure that your ingredients mix together evenly, resulting in a more uniform dough. If you've forgotten the cookies will still work though!
  2. Overmixing the dough can lead to tough, dense cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and then stop.
  3. If you have one, using a cookie scoop helps to ensure that your cookies are all the same size, which helps them bake evenly.
  4. Before baking, use the bottom of a glass, a fork, or the heel of your palm, to flatten each cookie slightly. This helps them bake more evenly and gives them a uniform shape.
  5. Chocolate chip condensed milk cookies can go from perfectly baked to overdone very quickly, so keep a close eye on them while they're in the oven. They're done when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

    Delicious! My old recipe called for almost 2 sticks of butter and double the condensed milk but the dough was very high maintenance, so I wanted to try something different. I was pleasantly surprised how easy these came together. They're drier than I'm used to but that's ok, they're more like shortbread cookies which are also hard but melt in your mouth. Thank you for the recipe.
