That's because you have the same reading comprehension problem as the
person you're replying to.

So what? It's a matter of taste. I don't like big chocolate chips in
cookies. I like tiny chocolate chips and a lot less of them than what
most recipes call for. If you like 70% cookie, 30% chocolate chips, YOU
eat the big chocolate chips. I don't like my cookies that way and I have
every right to have a preference for how I like my cookies, and a right to
bake them the way I like them.

> What's the difference from the other than the size?

The size is the only difference I care about. I don't like big chocolate
chips in my cookies. Is that too hard for you to understand?

> Why is he suddenly thinking they should be milk chocolate chips?

I never said that. My post was asking what method I should use to convert
them into milk chocolate chips. This is a cooking newsgroup, if you
haven't noticed.

He wasn't going "for me" to begin with. He was going for himself because
he asked me to bake 800 cookies for a Christmas party. Mini semi-sweet
chocolate chips go in the cookies, and I had them on a computer-generated,
printed list, but he got the wrong ones. We had a couple of extra bags of
semi-sweet LARGE chocolate chips left over and I don't want them in
cookies I'm going to be eating. I used the large ones in the cookies for
his Christmas party. While I would have liked the small chocolate chips
in the ones I sent to the party, since I wasn't eating them, I didn't make
a big deal about it. They were a hit anyway, and the women were slipping
them in their purses to take them home.

> Unless he's an invalid I suggest he go get his own chocolate chips.

And I suggest to you that you take a class on critical thinking. Your
post was full of so many hidden assumptions that from my view, you should
be pretty embarrassed with yourself. Unfortunately, like a jungle ape,
you don't have the mental faculties to be self-conscious enough to realize
what an idiot you look like, so I'll leave you now and you can go look
like a jungle ape somewhere else.
