Chocolate Fudge Candy Cookies

These cookies are so good yet so simple. Is there anything made with sweetened condensed milk that is not good? I doubt it. These are soft and chewy. Even after they cooled, they are still quite soft on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. I used chocolate chips for this recipe. Delicious!
Makes 55 small cookies
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, cut into pieces (or chocolate morsels)
2 oz. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
8 oz. (2 1/4 cups) pecans, toasted
Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil.
 |
| Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. |
 |
| Remove the pan from the oven and add the sweetened condensed milk. |
 |
| Add the vanilla. |
 |
| Add the flour and mix well. (You may need to transfer to a larger container) |
 |
| Add the pecans and mix well. |
 |
| The mixture will be very shiny. |
 |
| Use a scoop or tablespoon to form the cookies. Place them about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Bake for exactly 7 minutes. You can bake more than one sheet at a time, just reverse the sheets about halfway through baking. |
 |
| Slide the foil off the cookie sheets and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. The cookies will be duller after baking. Store in an airtight container. |
