If you add any nuts, like peanuts or pecans, for example, be sure to toast them first to get the maximum flavour. You can also add chocolate chips or festive red and green candy coated chocolates, like M&Ms, for example. Peppermint extract or orange extract would be so good! In any case, never add more than two teaspoons of extract. Adding extract will change the consistency of the cookie dough, so depending on how much you use, your cookie might be flatter when it has finished baking. You can add things to the cookie dough to make these Sweetened Condensed Milk Cookies different or less plain – if that’s your thing! Extracts will work in this recipe, but please keep in mind that the cookies you see in the photos do not have any extract. Also, shake it – can you feel the liquid splashing about inside the can? If so, it’s not sweetened condensed milk it’s evaporated or condensed milk only! If you are unfamiliar with it, please read the can carefully. Evaporated milk is often used as a cream added to tea or coffee. If you find an unsweetened condensed milk, it’s most likely that it’s simply evaporated milk or condensed milk, which is thick, but not gooey and sticky. Sugar prevents microorganisms from growing in the milk and helps to thicken it even further-it’s added after the milk has been boiled, reduced, and pasteurized. The main purpose of adding sugar is to prolong the shelf life of condensed milk, which can sit on room temperature shelves for years. Sugar is added to sweeten the condensed milk. The water will evaporate causing the milk to condense, which thickens the milk. This can by accomplished by applying heat. For someone not familiar with the gooey, sticky canned milk, it might be easily confused with canned Carnation condensed milk, for instance.
I get many questions from readers about it. ( Click here to see them!) Growing up in Newfoundland, it was always something I’ve been aware of. I have a lot of recipes here at Lord Byron’s Kitchen with sweetened condensed milk as one of the ingredients. Click on your most used social media icon below and follow me!
