I also think milk chocolate chip cookies are gross but love semisweet chocolate chip cookies. This isn’t uncommon.

This. If you use milk choc chip in a regular recipe, its going to be very sweet. We just adjust the sugar amount.

I prefer milk chocolate chips and just reduce the sugar in my recipes a bit when using them.

To the rest of you normal responders - thanks!

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.

It's not an inane question. I wish I had asked it before using milk chocolate chips in cookies because I didn't have semi sweet. I have the biggest sweet tooth out of anyone I know and I could not finish one cookie. My kids didn't like them either. It was a huge surprise that I found milk chocolate in CCCs gross but they really were.

It was probably some other key ingredient left out. I prefer semi-sweet chips as well, but, if you like chocolate chip cookies in general, you are not going to think milk chocolate chips are "gross".

Nope. I love chocolate chip cookies, especially the way I make them (the Ghirardelli recipe with the butter melted and one egg and one yolk instead of two eggs) and with milk chocolate they were gross. If you disagree it's a matter of taste, not that I am somehow confused. OP's question is not inane.

If you’re trying to recreate the cookie cake, you ought to go out and get the chips called for. I don’t think the milk chocolate chips would taste bad, but they will definitely taste different. Save them to use sometime you’re just making regular cookies, or just eat them as candy.

Because I didn’t want to write war and peace. I wanted a simple answer. Sorry to have you continue to come back and post responses.

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

I am not OP but I grew up in a home where nothing was made home-made due to my parents adductions/dysfunction. Cooking/baking does not come natural to me. I am a recipe follower and could see myself having a similar question. Instead of meeting something that doesn't make sense to you with snark and meanness, how about you walk by or just answer the question like an emotionally mature human.

+1 you asked if it would “ruin” the cookies.
