Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped pecans
2 cups unsalted butter
1 1/3 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups good-quality flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
48 pecan halves
directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt chocolate chips in microwave on the defrost setting (30% power) for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir. If needed, microwave 1 to 2 minutes more, just until chips are melted. Stir in chopped pecans. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add 1 1/3 cups sugar gradually, beating until mixture is fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add flour mixture gradually to butter mixture. Add chocolate and pecan mixture in thirds, streaking it through the batter with a long-pronged fork. Be careful to keep the two colors as separate as possible, thus marbleizing.
Scoop or spoon dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press a pecan half into the center of each cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake 16 minutes or until cookies begin to brown around the edges.
