Gwen's Winter White Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a magazine i picked up in Dec 2005. It has lots of awesome cookie recipes in it, and not just for Christmas. This recipe is one of my favorites in it.


As you can see the page is well used.

This is really what this recipe is called. I, however, am not the Gwen who invented them. I have tweaked them a bit.

Instead of just putting white chocolate chips and perhaps some walnuts in this recipe, I have added semi sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter chips. you can use all or any of these combos.

I like to roll out cookies while I'm waiting for the first batch to bake. This makes the pans faster and easier to load.

Nothing can beat the combo of warm, fresh baked cookies and milk:)

Gwen's Winter White Chocolate Chip Cookies:

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1/2 c butter, softened

1/2 c shortening

3/4 c white, granulated sugar

3/4 c packed brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

1 12-ounce package white baking pieces(2 cups) ( I use 1/2 cup of each flavoured chip. Or however you want to flavour the cookies having the total of chips = 2 cups:)

1 c walnuts (optional)

1) Preheat oven to 375 F. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and shortening for 30 seconds. Add white and brown sugars and vanilla. beat until combined; scrape bowl. Beat in eggs. Beat in as much flour mixture as you can. Stir in remaining flour mixture. Stir in baking pieces (chips).

2) Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheet. (I always like to line my cookie sheets with parchment paper) Bake 8-10 min or until cookies are lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack; cool. makes about 48

TO STORE:

Enjoy!
