Chocolate Chips (usually) have added stabilisers, to ensure that they remain in "chip" form when they are baked. Quality is often poorer in chocolate chips compared to semi-sweet chocolate; more sugar, fewer cocoa solids etc... Usually cocoa solid content is not listed on chcolate chips (because it's very low). I personally prefer to use semi-sweet or dark choclate, chopped roughly whenever "chocolate chips" are required. (That way you're also more likely to be able to find the chcolate when it's been cooked - chocolate chips seem to disappear). Dark Chocolate buttons, if they're a good quality, also work just fine.
You can use equal substitution between milk chocolate cips and semi-sweet chocolate chips, so 1 cup of either.
There isn't much of a difference but semi sweet is less likely to burn and is not as sweet as milk chocolate. Hope this helps!

The main difference between semi-sweet chocolate and dark chocolate is the amount of sugar they contain. Dark chocolate has a higher cocoa content and less sugar, giving it a more intense and bitter flavor compared to semi-sweet chocolate, which has a sweeter taste due to a higher sugar content.
Semisweet chocolate has sugar in, unsweetened has no sugar.
In cookie recipes, the recipe probably means semi-sweet chocolate chips. Bakers' chocolate, which is usually unsweetened, would be far too bitter. But you have a lot of choices, depending on the taste you want in your cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate chips tend to be the most popular, but you could choose chocolate mint chips, peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate chips or chocolate pieces of various sizes, from mini-chips to the larger "chunks."
Carob chips have a milder, slightly sweet taste compared to the richer, more intense flavor of chocolate chips. In terms of texture, carob chips are often smoother and less creamy than chocolate chips. Nutritionally, carob chips are lower in fat and calories compared to chocolate chips, but they also have less protein and iron.
