Cookie Recipe

These cookies are about as wicked as they come. They are impossibly easy and are so chewy and fudgy. I discovered the recipe about 3 weeks ago and have made them about 5 times since. You have to try these- no cookie tray would be complete without them!

Easy Chocolate Fudge Cookies

1/4 cup butter
1 (12 oz.) package semisweet chocolate chips
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans

  • Combine the first 3 ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or til' chocolate chips are melted.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and flour until blended. Fold in pecans.
  • Drop immediately by level tablespoonfuls onto a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 350* for 7-10 minutes. Cool on sheets for a minute or two and transfer to wire racks.
  • Makes 4 dozen
  • *Dough may be frozen for up to 1 month or refrigerated up to 2 days. Let stand at room temperature before baking as directed.

I'm going to make these today! I thought you might like to have a recipe for homemade sweetened condensed milk. My grandmother gave it to me. I usually just buy it, but this recipe has been handy when I've run out without knowing.

Homemade Eagle Bran Milk

1/3 c boiling water
3 T melted butter
pinch of salt
3/4 c sugar
Put all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Makes 14oz (=to one can) and will keep in the fridge for weeks!
