Sometimes you just need a cookie that's impossibly sweet and bad for you, but also very simple and low fuss. As it happens, I was in that sort of mood when I found a tin of sweetened condensed milk in my pantry. You know where this is going...
Death by Diabetes Cookies
200 g butter
1/3 cup white sugar
395 g (one small tin) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon salt (or more, if you're feeling frisky)
2 cups self-raising flour
250 g (one cup) dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F)
Cream together the butter and sugar
Mix in the condensed milk until smooth and creamy
Add the salt
Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time
Stir in the chocolate chips
Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly brown at the edges
The dough with be very, very soft and creamy because of the condensed milk, so I'd recommend either a cookie scoop or teaspoons to place small balls of dough on a parchment-lined tray, about 3-5 cm apart - they will spread and puff a little as they cook. Keep an eye on them; because of the high sugar content they can brown super fast. Cool for 5 minutes before trying to shift them to a rack - they will be very soft until they cool, and then they will be quite crisp.
I'm not going to lie, these cookies border on the lethal side of sweet. When first baked the condensed milk taste will be very strong, but the following day the flavours will be blended better. They are super simple, and super tasty!
Just watch out for the diabetes.
