Holiday Cookies: White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are always a favorite but this year I thought I’d mix it up slightly and use white chocolate chips instead.  I also increased the vanilla and the brown sugar to compliment the white chocolate.

White Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulate sugar
• 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 lg egg
• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 bag (12 oz) white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.

Beat together sugars, butter, vanilla, and egg at medium speed in a separate bowl.

Slowly add flour mixture until completely combined.

Using a spoon, mix in the white chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
