Ingredients:
- 100g butter, at room temperature
- 40g sugar
- 160g sweetened condensed milk
- 225g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch of salt
- 130g milk chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls, about the size of a walnut. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 fingers’ width of space between each one to allow for spreading.
- Decorate the tops with a few extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. For a slightly crispier texture, bake for the full 15 minutes.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
