In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together, until fluffy.

Add in the milk and vanilla.Next add the flour and salt. Combine on low until it is well mixed.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Some recipes I have seen for this say to chill it for 30 minutes so that it is firm enough to roll. My dough is always fine to roll, so you decide.

I use a cookie scoop for my cookies, if you do not have one, use a regular spoon, about 1- 1/12 tablespoons.

Roll doll into balls, placing on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat.

Add a Popsicle stick to each ball, if you want.

Freeze for 15 minutes.If you want to cover your cookie dough in chocolate: Melt the candy coating according to the package.

Take the cookie dough balls from the freezer, and swirl them around in the melted candy. We choose to then dip ours in sprinkles. The coating will dry fast because of freezing the dough first.

Store the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator, in an air tight container for up to a week.
