BRIAN'S MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (AKA DIRT COOKIES)

Brian's Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies (Aka Dirt Cookies) image

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!

Tips:

Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough. This will help ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Be creative with your decorations! You can use crushed Oreos, chocolate chips, or gummy worms to make your dirt cookies look like real dirt.

Conclusion:

Dirt cookies are a fun and easy treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover chocolate cake or cookie crumbs, and they can be customized to your liking.
