Servings: 14 cookies
Calories: 181 kcal
Ingredients
- 1 can Coconut Condensed Milk - 11.25 ounces / 325g (note 1)
- ⅓ cup Peanut Butter - (note 2)
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour - (note 3)
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ⅓ cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Optional – for very sweet cookies
- ½ cup Brown Sugar - (note 4)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir the coconut condensed milk, peanut butter, flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sugar if added.
- Stir until a smooth cookie dough forms – it will be sticky, that's normal.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
- Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter and drop on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie. I bake 7 cookies on a baking sheet. They grow and spread a little.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven at 350°F (180°C), one pan at a time, for 11-12 minutes. Keep the other pan at room temperature while the first one is baking.
- Let the cookies cool down for 5 minutes on the pan at room temperature, then transfer to a cooling rack for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle salt on top of the cookies, if you like, before serving.
Notes
Note 1: Coconut condensed milk is a dairy-free version of classic condensed milk. A can of coconut condensed milk is 11.25oz (325g). You can swap for classic condensed milk using the same amount if you use dairy in your kitchen.
Note 2: You can also use almond butter or cashew butter. For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Note 3: Use my gluten-free conversion guide to make them gluten-free.
Note 4: I usually don’t add more sugar, but it makes the cookies sweeter, closer to the sweetness and chewiness of a classic cookie.
Oven Mode: I use the fan-forced (convection) mode. If you have to use conventional mode, I recommend increasing the temperature by 25°F (15 °C). The baking time should be the same, but it might take a few more minutes.
Storage: Store the cookies at room temperature for up to 4 days in a sealed cookie box.

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this recipe. Here’s how to pick and swap them.

- Coconut Condensed Milk – This is the primary liquid and sweetener in the recipe, and it gives the cookies their unique chewy texture. You can also use canned oat or soy condensed milk.
- Peanut Butter – This adds a creamy, nutty flavor and a rich texture to the dough. It also works as a binder. You can use any nut or seed butter you like, like almond butter, cashew butter, or for a nut-free option, sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- All-Purpose Flour – The flour provides structure to the cookies. I use my gluten-free conversion guide to make them gluten-free.
- Baking Soda – This helps the cookies spread as they bake, creating a softer texture.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder works with the baking soda to leaven the cookies, giving them a lighter texture.
- Chocolate Chips – These provide classic chocolate flavor and little pockets of melted chocolate throughout the cookie. You can also use chopped walnuts, pecans, or mix both for a different flavor.
- Vanilla Extract – A small amount of vanilla extract enhances all the other flavors in the cookies.

Carine’s Baking Tips
Let me share a few more tips for perfect condensed milk cookies.
- Mind the Temperature – Keep the second pan of unbaked cookie dough at room temperature while the first one is baking. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
- Don’t Over-Mix – Stir the ingredients just until a smooth dough forms. Over-mixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the Dough – If the cookie dough feels too sticky to handle, you can chill it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to work with.
- Slightly Oil the Parchment – The dough is sticky, so a little cooking oil spray on the parchment paper will make it much easier to transfer the cookies after baking.
- Try Different Chocolate – Swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, chopped dark chocolate bars, or even butterscotch chips for a twist on the classic flavor.

Carine, this is the best recipe I’ve tried!
I made the coconut condensed milk at home and it was lighter than the one you used so the dough was liquidy, I added more flour and it came out great ❤️
