Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies
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!

I am making the chocolate chip cookies and batter is not rollable…. so just placed on cookie sheet w parchment and hoping for best….10 min not close to being done….
Hi 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?
I made these and it was a disasters! The dough was not rollable. And when baked it deflated! The butter was leaking out and the whole mess was swimming in butter! Tasted good though. I think I will cut down on the butter next time.
I’m sorry to hear that! I have no idea why that would happen, I’ve always had success with this recipe.
Mine 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.
I’ve tried so many recipes and this one is the winner!!!
Best chocolate chip cookie.
Soft, sweet and the chocolate chips stayed soft.
Making a double batch today. Thank you for a fabulous recipe.
I’m so happy you enjoyed these cookies!
I also had good results with this recipe! I made these because I had some extra sweetened condensed milk to use up (had some trouble with getting caramel sauce to set up and can’t throw away good food). I made a triple batch. I didn’t roll them out, just used a scooper. Will probably make again as they disappear quickly!
Flour sometimes absorbs liquids differently
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~

These are super yummy. I noticed some people said they weren’t rollable. I had no issue with that. I did spray my hands with cooking spray. That alleviates dough sticking to your hands.
I’m so happy you enjoyed them! And great tip with the cooking spray!
Very good recipe to use up sweetened condensed milk. I had no issue with the cookies being rollable – maybe because I used softened butter instead of melted? I added a tsp of vanilla and didn’t add sugar. .they were perfectly sweet!
Good hint. I tried cooking spray and it worked perfectly. 😋
Hi! These sound amazing. Is the butter unsalted?
Hi 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!
These 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!!!!!
Hi! Do you think I can make the batter/dough a day early and leave it in the fridge (covered) until I can bake them?
Hi Jill! Absolutely!
Awesome! Thank you ?
My new favorite cookie. I’m going to add nuts.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Great idea to add nuts!
Can anyone tell me what type of flour is used. Plain or self raising?
Hi Charmaigne! Just regular, all-purpose flour!
Can they be frozen?
Hi Laura! Yes they can!
These are delicious-something different from a run of the mill chocolate chip cookie. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed them Kris!
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Debbie!
