Under the Christmas Tree #3: Winter White

No matter how bad you day is, when you start talking cookies, . . . there’s just not bad news.  The worst news is,  “Hey, there’s sugar in that.”  (Tosi)

Today me will live in the moment, unless it’s unpleasant, in which case me will eat a cookie.”  (Cookie Monster)

Buttery, soft, crisp around the edges and loaded with white chocolate chunks, pieces, chips, whatever you got . . .  It couldn’t get any better for a snow day, especially when you know digging out is just around the corner.  Enjoy!

1 cup softened butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 cups chopped white chocolate.  Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs and vanilla, and mix well.  Then add the dry combined dry ingredients until just incorporated.  And then add the white magic, the chocolate, sprinkling the top with additional to melt.  Form into any size cookies you like, and bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or so.  Winter White!
