Have I ever mentioned that I had a big crush on Cookie Monster from Sesame Street? Yes, he was the only reason why I watched that program.I love eating and baking cookies, and the condensed milk recipe I'm sharing today, s another reason to go crazy after cookies!
Making Condensed Milk Cookies
These Condensed milk cookies are not my creation I made few modifications to the original recipe since it had a lot of sugar. I think I got this recipe from the back of a condensed milk can, so I'm not taking all the credit here.
These cookies are frequently baked in my house, it is a blend of shortbread and cookie dough. In my opinion, these are the best eggless chocolate chip cookies ever.
The Recipe.
The condensed milk used in the recipe replaces the eggs and provides a very delicate texture.
I never push you to try my recipes, but these cookies are a must bake, so I ask you to please try it out, you'll love it.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup chopped chocolate or you can use chocolate chips
Instructions
- - Whisk or sift flour with baking powder and salt. Keep aside.
- - In a different bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy and lighter in color.
- - Add the condensed milk and beat until well combined.
- - Add the flour mixture and mix slowly until it's combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix gently.
- - Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- - Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
- - Take a heaping teaspoon from the dough, roll into a ball, place on the parchment paper and flatten with your fingers or with the back of a spoon.
- - Bake for 8 – 10 minutes.
- - Cool on a cooling rack and enjoy these cookies.

I love how everyone has their own favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I haven't seen one using condensed milk, and I'll have to give this a try!
munatycooking
It's true, I'm fond of three different recipes of chocolate chip cookies 🙂 ... But these condensed milk ones are great since they combine both shortbread taste and chocolate chip cookies!
dina

Poonam
Hi Munaty,
Mine were completely spread flat on the entire cookie sheet , while baking.
Can you help me by suggesting where I might have gone wrong.
munatycooking
Hi Poonam, the cookies usually go flat while baking for two reasons. One, your oven was not hot enough and two, when using melted butter. Hope this helped 🙂
Poonam
Tried again today considering your suggestion. Turned out better as per taste and size however more chewy and less crispy than required. Taken out when light brown on sides.
Do u suggest to keep for 5 mins more at same temperature to get more crispy on sides and chewy at middle..?
Regards
Poonam
munatycooking
Hi Poonam, Maybe leaving the cookies a little longer will get you a better result. Can you tell me what type of oven you are using?
Jeannie
Hi Muna, I like eating cookies but not so into baking them because it's time consuming lol! These look so crunchy and delicious! I was scrolling down and saw your chapati which I would love to try…
munatycooking
You're not alone Jeannie, although I love baking sometimes I just want cookies to fall in my plate 🙂 .. Hope you like my Chapati!
Anita

Candy
I have leftover Condensed Milk in the fridge so I will give these a try 🙂 However I'm curious as to why there is no egg in this recipe?
munatycooking
Hi Candy, The condensed milk is the substitute for eggs in this recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙂
Melinda Fekete
Hi! The recipe looks great! I am thinking to make this soon, but wondered how the butter is measured by a tablespoon. Does it mean that the recipe needs melted or softened butter? Thanks!
munatycooking
Hi Melinda, the butter should be at room temp and not melted, to get the exact measurement take out one tablespoon from 1/2 cup butter.
Nagi@RecipeTinEats
These seem delicious! I will definitely try making these! One can never have too much cookies, right? 😀
munatycooking
You are right Nagi, these cookies are delicious 🙂
Lauren
These just taste like flour to me?
munatycooking
Hi Lauren, I'm not sure why these cookies tasted like flour to you! The butter, condensed milk, and the chocolate chips should have taken over the flavor. Unless the flour you have used have expired or been exposed to air for long time.
Obrien Dsouza
As I cannot eat wheat/wheat products, Can Rice flour be used?
munatycooking
The texture will be different, the cookies will turn out dry. You can use Gluten free flour and it usually a mixture of different flours like rice flour, tapioca, and sometimes potato flour is also mixed in it. If using gluten flour, you might want to increase the amount of liquid used to get a cookie dough like texture. I hope this help!
Nial O'Neil
these were great, thanks! Doubled it, added a bit of vanilla and subbed some of butter for coconut oil. so yummy
munatycooking
Thanks for your feedback I highly appreciate it. I never made these cookies with coconut oil but sounds delicious 🙂
Shelley
I call this recipe "leftover cookies" 🙂
It's great to use leftover condensed milk, and then I add whatever stuff I want to get rid of: nuts, pumpkin puree...
I also roll them in sugar and cinnamon mix for a snickerdoodle effect
sandra
Serving size says 12. Does that mean this recipe only makes 12 cookies? TIA
munatycooking
Hi Sandra, Some make small size cookies and others make them big, but as an estimate, this dough should make at least 12 medium size cookies.
Poonam
M using convection oven
munatycooking
I would say try leaving the cookies longer in the oven and see how it comes out.
