Chocolate Three Ways Cookies

Heaven.

  • 1 3/4 cups flour 
  • 1/2 cups baking cocoa 
  • 1 tsp baking soda 
  • 1 14-oz cans Sweetened Condensed Milk 
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp (or so) vanilla extract 
  • 2 cups chocolate chips, divided 
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), cut into chunks

Notice anything missing?

sugar.

no kidding.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mix flour, cocoa and baking soda in bowl. Set aside.

Combine condensed milk, egg and vanilla in a small bowl. (I use a 4-cup liquid measuring cup.) Mix well.

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and butter in large saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.

Remove from heat, stir in condensed milk mixture. Yup. Into the saucepan. Mix well.
Stir in flour mixture. You’ll have some small lumps.

Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips. It will be a sticky, gooey mess.

Drop by teaspoonful (I use a 1 tbsp measure) on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 7-ish minutes - until the edges are set, but the centers aren't. Let stand for a couple of minutes.

 chewy, chocolately heaven.
 If you’re a peppermint addict like I am, you can add a couple of drops of peppermint extract with the vanilla. You can even dress them up pretty to take to a party. Just dust them with powdered sugar.
If you can manage to bake all the dough without hiding any in the back of the fridge, you should get about 3 ½ dozen.
