“Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies”

Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies…another rainy day recipe to get a jump-start on the new school week and a kid friendly baking activity. If you love chocolate cookies or chocolate in general, whip up a batch of Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies. These cookies are not over the top chocolate but just enough to blend with and not overpower the taste of white chocolate chips in these cookies. I find these cookies are even better the next day. Easy to make and you might even have all the ingredients in your pantry already. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Get your kids involved by measuring ingredients, scooping cookies on the cookie sheets and so on. Instead of using white chocolate chips, try Lindt white chocolate candy bars, chopped coarsely into chunks and added to the cookie batter or how about some nuts. Another recipe bought to you by the queen of variations. Let me know what creations you can come up with for Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies.
