Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 450 g salted butter softened to room temperature
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 395 g sweetened condensed milk 1 standard can
  • 520 g all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 400 g chocolate chips or chopped chocolate semi-sweet, dark, or milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 330°F (165°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla for 2–3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  3. Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while mixing on medium speed. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Sift together flour and baking powder. Add to the wet mixture in two additions, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
  6. Scoop approximately 20 g (1 tablespoon) of dough per cookie and roll into smooth balls. Place evenly spaced on prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 14–15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but not overbrowned.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If your kitchen is warm, chill dough for 20–30 minutes to prevent spreading. For thicker cookies, slightly underbake and allow them to finish cooking on the tray. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for contrast. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
