White Chip Chocolate Cookies

The month of December was spent pretty much in the kitchen, baking. Yes, baking this and that and a whole lotta cookies.

These were by far the favorite of the season, I had friends and family rave about them and I don't think I've ever made as many, it just seemed like I kept baking and the dough kept multiplying. Not that I'm complaining, well, maybe just a little, my poor hips actually started screaming at one point "stop, just stop already".

But you know that's when you realize you have a winner, so because I love you all and like sharing my weight recipes, I'm giving you the opportunity to go make some, right now......thanks to Nestle so if you want to yell at anyone for consuming way too many of these, just go there.
