Choc chip cookies with milk choc chips

[Anonymous]

I’m making choc chip cookies and asked my spouse to grab some choc chips at the store. He got milk choc. Will it ruin the cookies?

[Anonymous]

Yes

It’s fine. I always use milk chocolate.

In what way are you worried that it would ruin the cookies? Milk chocolate is sweeter and creamier, but it’s still a chocolate chip. I usually use a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips. Adjust the sugar if you are worried about the added sweetness

We always use milk choc chip and they taste and look great

Is this for real?

How old are you that you have this little experience in the kitchen/life?

I sometimes substitute butterscotch chips or m&ms in my recipe. It’s fine.

To those who are snarky, I was trying to recreate the same cookie cake I’ve made for my kid’s birthday that I’ve made every year for 2 decades. Sorry - I thought some people would know if they’d taste similar. Clearly I know you can use any chip but i didn’t know if it would be too sweet.

To the rest of you normal responders - thanks!

I hate the way milk chocolate tastes in cookies, and I have a massive sweet tooth and otherwise always prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate. I also love M&M cookies. I am surprised that so many commenters think milk chocolate in cookies is just as good! I learned something new.

+1. I think milk chocolate chips are way too sweet in cookies and do not consider them a replacement at all. Get the semi sweet, OP!

Then why didn’t you add this context to your original question? You can’t be surprised by the snark when you ask such inane questions.

I wouldn't use all milk if your recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate.
My go-to recipe uses chopped chocolate, not chips, and a mix of white, milk and dark chocolate.

I want to add that the spouse’s purchase was not in vain. Milk chocolate chips are delicious by themselves.
