Tips & Warnings
White chocolate is not technically real chocolate, because it doesn't contain any cocoa solids. White chocolate is a mixture of cocoa butter, dairy solids, vanilla and sugar. Unfortunately, many white chocolates on the market don't contain any cocoa butter; for this recipe, use only those that do.

These cookies were served in the break room of a trucking company. The cookies disappeared and there was nary a crumb left. Must have been good, eh? ;) This recipe is a good alternative to "traditional" chocolate chip cookies. -
