| This mornings breakfast. Coffee, cara cara orange, and GP's cookie (I made them for Mother's Day and they were a hit with all the mothers. When I told them it was made with barley flour the cookies all disappeared.) |

1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Put chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until combined. Add in the milk chocolate chunks.
Using a 1 ½ inch ice cream scoop, drop cookies onto a baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until the cookies are flat and the surfaces crack, approximately 15 minutes*.
Let cool on a wire rack. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
***Notes: I used semi sweet chocolate chips since I was out of milk chocolate.
Also, I baked my cookies for about 9 minutes. Since the cookies are dark it may be hard to tell when are they done. You can test bake one cookie and see how many minutes it takes and then make sure you set the timer for each batch!
