Chocolate Eagle Brand Cookies
Chewy, chocolatey cookies with a rich condensed milk flavor and crunchy nuts, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings or sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt together sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter in a saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in self-rising flour and chopped nuts.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a foil-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 8 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. If you prefer a nut-free cookie, simply omit the chopped nuts or substitute them with dried fruits like cranberries or raisins. Use dark chocolate chips for a richer taste, or try butterscotch chips for a different twist. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt.
Serving Suggestions
These Chocolate Eagle Brand Cookies are delicious on their own but can also be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee for a cozy treat. They also make a great addition to dessert platters alongside Marvelous Marble Cheesecake(Microwave) or other sweet treats for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?
Evaporated milk will not yield the same sweetness or creaminess as sweetened condensed milk, so it's best to stick with the original ingredient. If you need a substitute, you might consider making your own sweetened condensed milk using evaporated milk and sugar, but the texture and flavor may vary.
What can I do if my cookies are too flat?
If your cookies spread too much and become flat, it may be due to too much butter or not enough flour. Ensure you measure your ingredients correctly. You can also try chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to help maintain their shape.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can make these cookies gluten-free by substituting the self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend includes a leavening agent or add baking powder to ensure the cookies rise properly. It's a delicious option for those following gluten-free diets!
