BRIAN'S MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (AKA DIRT COOKIES)
I am not a big fan of semi-sweet chocolate chips, so I used milk chocolate chips and then decided to make the cookie base chocolaty too. My oldest son called them dirt cookies because of the brown batter. So, the name stuck. My kids love them and I hope you do too!
