Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I found bags of Nestle Tollhouse milk chocolate chips in the grocery a week ago but I never got around to using them, which isn't normal. See, finding chocolate chips different from the ordinary semi-sweet kind is always exciting for me and every new discovery usually throws me into a cookie baking frenzy almost instantly.

Yesterday, I finally found the time to make a batch of cookies. I didn't want to use the recipe I ordinarily use with semi-sweet chocolate chips so I did a little research for a new recipe that particularly calls for milk chocolate chips. There were quite a few recipes and I discovered a lot of interesting variations.

Below is the recipe I used (I adapted this recipe from the original one I found). The cookies came out wonderfully chewy on the inside and mildly crisp on the outside. I think this recipe may be a keeper.

I am having a couple of them now for breakfast along with my green tea. Sunday is TV marathon day (Eureka is this Sunday's feature) so breakfast may take a while. Good thing I have great cookies.
