Bar cookie recipes with sweetened condensed milk

 

Sweetened condensed milk is one of my absolute favorite ingredients. I could honestly just lick the can and be happy. But, adding it to a recipe always makes dessert better. 

This recipe reminds me a lot of Hello Dolly Bars, but with more of a cookie, shortbread taste. The sweetened condensed milk chocolate chip bars are rich and filling like a Hello Dolly Bar.

Sweetened Condensed Milk Desserts

Crust

Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipes - creaming the butter.

Cream the butter. 

If you forget to set out the butter on the counter to soften, you can microwave the butter for about 15 seconds.

Or, take a large glass and run it under some hot water. Once it’s hot, set it on top of the stick of butter and in a few minutes, you’ll have some soft butter!

Desserts with sweetened condensed milk

Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the butter. Mix until it becomes crumbly.

Put some flour on your hands while pressing down on the mixture, otherwise, you’ll be covered in dough.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. 

Y’all will be baking the crust again, so it’s ok if the center is not completely cooked. 

Chocolate Layer

You can also microwave the chips and sweetened condensed milk in increments of 30 seconds, if you don’t want to use the saucepan.
