Today I’d like you to meet my blog’s new home!
What do you think?
It still has the same Recipe Index and Baking Conversions pages, all the recipes have moved over here, you can still read all about me, and if you follow, I’m happy to say I haven’t lost any of you!
But it took work.
Hours and hours of me asking annoying question after annoying question and nagging my amazingly talented girlfriend.
Import after import of the blog because it kept failing.
Redesign after redesign of the logo and header placement.
And edit after edit of CSS. Don’t even go there. The concept is completely foreign to me, I still don’t even really know what it is. Who am I kidding, I still have NO idea what it is. If it wasn’t for my friend, none of this, NONE of this, would have been possible.
If it was not for her, I would have slammed my Mac shut, flung it across the room and called it a day.
So thank you Tammy. For working with me. For answering all my questions. For fixing all the niggles. And for making this what it is. I love it.
She even hand drew the Recipe Index butter dish. Isn’t she awesome?
So to make the world a better place and introduce the new Butter Baking in the most appropriate manner, I baked you some cookies.
But these aren’t any ordinary chocolate chip cookies.
They have condensed milk in them. Instead of eggs.
They sort of blew my mind. If you crossed a chewy cookie with shortbread, this is what you would get.
Yum. Hope you love them, and my new home!
CONDENSED MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Adapted from Nestle.
180g unsalted butter, softened (2/3 cup)
1/3 cup caster (superfine) sugar
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a few trays with baking paper.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the condensed milk until well incorporated.
Add flour and salt, and mix on a low speed until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls, place on the lined trays and flatten with your hand.
Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, until golden. Makes 48 cookies.
Happy baking!
Love it. Will be making those cookies today. Pictures are beautiful. The chocolate lab is beautiful as well. Hope she/he got a little taster. Keep up the great work
Hi Debbie! Thanks so much! What did you think of the cookies?! Haha she is gorgeous, we love her. I’m sure she got a couple of crumbs, chocolate free of course. How could anyone resist those eyes?!
Made a batch today. Smelt wonderful whilst baking. Friends popped in for a quick coffee no biscuits left. Having to make more now as my husband didn’t even get a small tastier. They are scrumulious
Hi Debbie! Very happy to hear you liked them and that everyone ate them so quickly! Hope your husband enjoys them too, thanks for the lovely feedback!
Hooray, congratulations Natasha!!! The site looks perfect, so elegant
All your hard work was worth it. I signed up for emails, but didn’t get one my inbox about this post! Am I the only one? I hope it’s just a glitch through my email.
I’m dying over that picture of your sweet pup eyeing the cookies!! We love labs, we have a yellow lab named Kona.
Yay Maura, thank you!!! I’m so happy to hear that you like it
Oh no! You should have gotten an instant email… if you haven’t, maybe try subscribing through the new site?! I wonder why, everyone was moved across with me…
Haha she is awesome. She sits with me every. single. time. I take photos for the blog, and gets as close as possible.
I know you have Kona! I’ve seen the photos! Gorgeous dog! Don’t you just love them?! They’re so crazy smart
Well done. It looks great & I also love the pic of the adorable lab – hope he got a taste.

Glad you hung in there and will still have your blog. Thank you to Tammy for helping you and the butter dish is perfect. All of your recipes sound so delicious and I did make the healthy double chocolate muffins. They were delicious. I hope to try some of the other ones too. Your pictures make me want to reach right into the monitor.
Thanks Diane! Of course I will still have my blog
all thanks to Tammy, yes!
I’m glad to hear you made the muffins and that you liked them! Hope you like the other recipes too
Haha my pictures make me want to reach into the monitor too… because those cookies are all gone!
Congratulations on a gorgeous blog. My Physio, Olivia put me on to this.
It’s just Beautiful — an inspiration for my blog!
Thanks so much, to you and your physio!! Happy to hear you like it
Hi Natasha,
As I have only found your lovely blog today I cannot comment on the change but I sure like the look of it.
As to the cookies, well funnily enough I bought some condensed milk on my last shopping trip, SO these are most certainly going to be baked over the weekend!
It’s been lovely touring around your blog and I will try to get back often to see what you’re up to.
Have a great weekend. Linda
Hi! Thank you Linda, that’s so kind of you!
I hope you enjoyed the cookies, and I’m so happy to hear you like the blog!
Haha it sounds like the condensed milk was fate
Have a nice week
I love your new look! It’s beautiful! These cookies look like a perfect way to celebrate!
Thanks so much Jessica, I really appreciate it!
It’s after midnight now and I’m so tired, otherwise I would be in the kitchen baking these cute beauties
Haha well I hope you get to bake them soon!
Lovely blog! It’s very clean, beautiful and accessible. Congratulations! And this is the first I’ve heard of condensed milk in a cookie, definitely gonna give these a try.
Thanks so much Dan!!
I know, it was the first I’d heard of it too! Hope you enjoy 
Those photos (and your blog) are gorgeous! Both you and your friend deserve those cookies, yum!
xx
Thanks very much Mionette, I really appreciate the kind words!
Congrats on having the new blog up and rolling! That’s huge.
You have some gorgeous photos in this post, and hello, I’m in LOVE with your dog. Seriously the definition of puppy eyes right there!
P.S. I haven’t been getting my normal subscription e-mails since you moved over either, so I resubscribed, but just wanted to let you know!
Thanks so much! You’re so kind!
Haha she is pretty gorgeous, huh?!
P.S. Oh no!! That’s a huge bummer. Thanks for letting me know though, I’ll check in with WordPress and see what I can do. Happy to still have you following along!
I’m glad to see the newly published website up! I’ve never heard of adding condensed milk in cookies and will definitely try! Love your photos and blog!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks Jennifer!
Hope you’re having a good week!
I know it’s cool, huh? Thank you so much for the kind feedback
I’m glad to see the new website up and running smoothly! I’ve never heard of condensed milk in cookies and will definitely try! Love your photos and blog! Have a great weekend!
Just made a batch of these cookies. Look great – still too hot to eat though. I only managed to get 26 cookies out of the batter and they certainly don’t look any bigger than in the pics. Has anyone else found this?
Hi Verena. Happy to hear you made the cookies! Mine were only small, only a tablespoon of dough!
Enjoy them!
I found that my cookies looked nothing like the cookies in the pic. Tasted good though.
I wonder why?! Good to hear you enjoyed!
After making 3 batches within a space of 10 days, have decided not to waste my time and make a minimum of DOUBLE batches from now on.
It then uses up a whole tin of condensed milk (so nothing hanging around in the fridge), and I can keep daughter quiet for just that little bit longer. 
Oh that’s awesome to know Verena! I hate using half cans of condensed milk, it’s so annoying!
Very happy to hear you liked them so much
Oh my goodness!!! These cookies were soo good!! Little bites of absolute yumminess in every bite!! And perfectly chewy!! Thanks
Haha what an amazing description Cat! Very happy to hear you liked them, love the feedback
