These rye chocolate chip cookies are made with milk chocolate chips and have an amazing unique texture – crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with a slight nutty flavor from the rye flour.

The idea of rye flour in chocolate chip cookies might sound strange, but I promise, you are going to love these cookies. Rye flour has a slightly nutty, earthy flavor and lends a super unique texture and flavor to cookies. They’re crunchy on the outside yet still incredibly moist and chewy on the inside. And while most chocolate chip cookie recipes use dark chocolate chips, I pair these cookies with milk chocolate chips because I love how the flavor complements the nutty, malty flavors of rye flour.
