 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cups flour
1 t vanilla extract
1 (14oz) can condensed milk

1 cup of miniature chocolate chips

Coating with chocolate
Dark Chocolate bark for melting (any semi-sweet will do)

Mix everything together just like you do any cookie dough until smooth Then add the mini chocolate chips Cover cookie dough let it sits in the fridge for 1 hour. Roll the dough into small round balls (I use measuring spoon 1 T) to make sure it is the same size. Lay the cookie dough balls on the baking tray with wax paper then put them back in the Fridge until it is hard enough to dip in melted chocolate. Melt the chocolate on double boiler on low heat then turn the heat off Dip the cookie dough in melted chocolate; lay them on cookie sheet with wax paper. Let it cool for few hours or overnight before wrapping them.
