Recipes using condensed milk and chocolate

Have I ever mentioned that I had a big crush on the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street? If I didn’t now you know.

I love cookies, it makes me happy, and I find baking them a great fun.

The cookies I’m sharing with you today 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 chocolate chip cookies ever.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.
