My coworker and I made these cookies and brought them to work this week. They were a big hit; I received a lot of compliments on them. We made half of the cookies with milk chocolate chips and half with semi-sweet chocolate chips, and we couldn't get enough of either type. Our coworkers are lucky we didn't eat them all before bringing them into work!
