Sometimes I roll them in cinnamon. Those are called wookie cookies. (1 part
cinnamon to 3 parts sugar). Have to use half milk chocolate chips and half
semi-sweet chips so you don't overpower the cinnamon though.

Sometimes I substitute 1/4 cup of milk for an egg, and substitute some of
the butter with shortening. I think that's the original Toll House cookie
recipe.They're crispier, and more sugary. And, of course, they have a longer
shelf life.
