Condensed milk, otherwise known as divine nectar, is normally used in my house for making the wonderful Scottish confection of Tablet. For once, however, I decided to break free from by routine and try making something new, and the results were pretty sweet (pun very much intended ). It may be relatively expensive, but there’s no denying that condensed milk makes delicious cookies.

(makes 20)

170g self raising flour

115g caster sugar

85g butter

115g chocolate chunks / raisins

4 tablespoons of condensed milk

1. Combine the flour and sugar in a large bowl, then chop in the butter.
2. Continue mixing the flour, sugar and butter until it is well blended, at which point it will start to look like breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in the chocolate or fruit and condensed milk then knead until it forms one ball.
4. If you have time, refrigerate for a few minutes, then roll into balls and flatten.
5. Bake on a very lightly greased tray at 180oC / Gas Mark 4 for 10 minutes (until golden brown)
6. Remove them from the oven and lay out on a rack to cool.
