I have been making this recipe for years now--it it my most asked-for cookie!

I omit the chips; use fat-free 14oz Eagle brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (not evaporated milk), and store the finished cookie (cut into squares) in the freezer (has a scrumptious taste when eaten frozen!!)

This cookie treat is definately a keeper for all the holidays
