These Sweetened Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and loaded with milk chocolate chips! I skipped the eggs and went with a sweetened condensed milk which makes the cookies rich and tender.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon baking powder. Whisk until combined and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, add the ½ cup salted butter, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix in any remaining bits.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in increments and beat on low speed until combined in between each addition. Don’t overmix.
Use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop the dough.
Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet leaving one inch in between each cookie.
Place the in the preheated oven and bake for 10-11 minutes until the bottom of the cookies and the edges are golden.
Allow the cookies to cool for 1-2 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
