Condensed milk cookies

I promise these won't last long, at least they didn't in our house!

250g/8.8 oz butter, softened

55g/2 oz caster sugar

200g/7 oz sweetened condensed milk

375g/13.2 oz self raising flour

125g/4.4 oz chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Line two baking trays with baking parchment.

Mix the softened butter, condensed milk and caster sugar together with a whisk until it is pale and creamy.

Add in the flour and mix until it comes together to form a dough.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Take spoonfuls of the mixture and roll into balls, place on the baking tray with space to spread, press down the top with a fork to flatten slightly.

Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Variations:

Use dark, milk or white chocolate chips

Use sultanas or chopped dried fruit instead of chocolate chips

Use half chocolate chips, half chopped stem ginger

Replace 50g/1.8 oz of the flour with cocoa powder to make double chocolate cookies
