White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

A white chocolate chip cookie recipe is just a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe but with white chips. Although white chocolate is not a true chocolate it does contain cocoa butter which is good enough to star in this rich buttery cookie. It's nice to take a break from chocolate now and then. White chocolate is sweet indeed and makes a great companion to nuts, especially macadamia nuts.
