These Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies taste like a shortbread cookie crossed with a chocolate chip cookie. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sweetened condensed milk.
Have you ever found yourself with leftover sweetened condensed milk after making a recipe? It’s one of those ingredients where sometimes you only end up using some of the can, then you’re left wondering what to do with the rest. And it’s such a delicious ingredient that you can’t waste it! But don’t worry, I’m sharing a recipe that’s perfect for that leftover sweetened condensed milk…Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies.
These cookies are not your typical chocolate chip cookie. In fact, they’re actually more like a shortbread cookie with chocolate chip cookies. They’re soft, sweet, rich and buttery. And you need to make them.
Another thing that’s good to note about this recipe is that they’re egg free. So if you have an egg allergy in your family, or you just recently ran out of eggs, you can make these cookies!
Just look at how delicious they are! Trust me when I say these will get eaten up fast…they’re especially tasty warm right out of the oven. 😉
And they travel well too, so they’re great for taking a batch over to a friend. Everyone loves cookie gifts! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
Baking Tip!
With the leftover sweetened condensed milk from making these cookies, you can make these Chewy Date Oat Bars!

February 2, 2019 at 1:01 PMHi Tricia! The batter should definitely be rollable…it’s a pretty thick dough with not much liquid. I’m not sure what could have happened?

March 13, 2019 at 6:37 PMMine were quite loose too. Not at all rollable. Followed recipe exactly. Unfortunately I didn’t see this comment until my first tester batch was cooking, but another heaping dollop of flour made the rest of the batter rollable. Could be the original writer scooped the flour instead of spooning into the cup, or maybe a humidity issue. First batch still turned out okay, just extra buttery. Needs a smidge more salt for my taste.

depending on the brand or even how old the flour is maybe just a bit more flour. I have not made the cookies yet plan too~ maybe someone can provide a photograph of what the batter should look like~

February 7, 2019 at 4:38 PMHi! These sound amazing. Is the butter unsalted?

February 7, 2019 at 9:59 PMHi Rachel! I use salted butter for my cookies, but if you only have unsalted butter feel free to use it but maybe add an extra pinch of salt! Enjoy!

April 6, 2019 at 3:49 PMThese cookies were incredible! I used miniature chocolate chips for these cute little cookies. I made a batch for work and when I came home an employee phoned my house to tell me how good they were.
D-LICIOUS!!!!!

April 15, 2019 at 5:07 PMHi! Do you think I can make the batter/dough a day early and leave it in the fridge (covered) until I can bake them?

February 3, 2020 at 1:55 PMI’ve made these a few times now and made a few changes. I like to add vanilla and double the amount of chocolate (sometimes I use small chocolate chunks or M&Ms) and I cut out the sugar–I don’t think it’s needed with the sweetened condensed milk and extra chocolate I add in. I also double the entire recipe because I like to use my ice cream scoop to make larger cookies (which cook for 12-14 minutes). I find the dough to be pretty loose as well, so I chill it for at least an hour and that takes care of the problem for making balls (and they do not spread when they bake, which is always a problem of mine!).
Great recipe! It’s so easy! I just made some successfully with gluten free flour and they’re great too.
