Milk Or Semi-Sweet?

So I have a bad habit of baking cookies, then sharing!  I admit it!  Brought in a batch of oatmeal and a batch of chocolate chip this week.

Whenever I bake, I always laugh at the subtle differences that can drastically change the whole character of the treat.

Milk Chocolate or Semi-Sweet - which chocolate chips do you prefer?  I grew up with milk chocolate, so to me, that's the best chip to use.  I don't like chocolate chip cookies too much, but I love chocolate chips in my oatmeal cookies!

Nuts or No Nuts - in your cookies?  I like nuts - just not in my cookies!  When baking for others, I usually either do no nuts at all or only in one flavor - I've worked several places where at least one person was allergic to nuts and I wanted to make sure they could enjoy at least one of the cookies.

Oatmeal with Raisins or Chocolate Chips - I like my oatmeal cookies with both raisins AND (milk) chocolate chips.  It's funny how many other people like only one or the other ... and there seems to be no consensus on which is better.

(It's funny how many people grew up having chocolate chips in their oatmeal cookies and thought *those* were chocolate chip cookies!)

How do you like your cookies?

I love oatmeal with chocolate chips, not a big raisin fan. If I had to choose semi-sweet or milk, I like the semi-sweet. BTW-those cookies were great!

Oh dear Wild ... that brings up another point ... walnuts or pecans?

I don't really like walnuts, they're too bitter ... I always use toasted pecans when I do put nuts in cookies ...

kurkel, as my wife would say, chocolate is Gods perfect food. Now if they would come up with a decent sugar free chocolate I would agree!

All cookie's to me are best right out of the over for a few minute to were you don't burn your finger's or tongue.
My favorite are snickerdoodle's and I like them soft. Nope I can't get them soft. Alway's hard, The kid's call the dunkin' cookie as you have to dunk them in milk or coffee to eat them once they have cooled. But we love them anyway.
Semi sweet chocolate chip's.
Oatmeal and peanut butter no nut's or raisin's.
Brownie's I eat either way.
I use pecan most the time.
Nut's in ice cream my all time favorite Black walnut.
Think I will go get a bowl now.

A cookie is a piece of heaven to me. It matters not one bit if the chocolate is milk or semi-sweet, I don't care if nuts are in it or not, and oatmeal ALWAYS goes with chocolate (I make chocolate oatmeal for my kids for breakfast!!)

Jill, I have been hearing about the cookies you bake for the station! That is the nicest thing. Mmmmmmm, I can never, ever resist a cookie...no matter how good I'm being on my diet. For cookies, there will always be an exception!

funny all the variety isnt it? Jeanette my parents love black walnut ice cream and frankly ...even the thought of it makes me a bit queasy...lol!

back and forth if you start from the top and go down...nuts...not nuts...oatmeal and raisin with or with out CC's....no raisins for some.. CC's in everything for others...milk choc to semi sweet. Havent heard dark chocolate mentioned ( I do like a good piece of dark chocolate!)

Its what makes the world go around...all kinds of folks with all kinds of tastes...isnt it amazing? I think so...
