7 Minute Chocolate Cookies

By srumbel

I was so happy to stumble on this recipe again after having it in my recipe collection for a large number of years. There are only 6 simple ingredients for these chocolatey cookies, and they bake for just 7 minutes. I made mine into smallish cookies, so the recipe made quite a lot. When I have too many cookies on hand, that tends to be dangerous… so I pop them into a large ziploc baggie and store them in the freezer– where they are seemingly safe from excess cookie munching!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan (or microwave-safe bowl), melt the butter and chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk. Remove from heat and stir in the flour, pecans and vanilla.
Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with nonstick spray).
Bake 7 minutes. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then remove cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

These cookies can be kept in a covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or they may be frozen.
