Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I love that this recipe doesn't use any shortcuts. Everything is made from scratch and wonderfully delicious. This is now one of my favorite recipes and I will be making it quite often. The beef is very tender and the stew has lots of flavor. The dumplings are perfect and cooked through.
