White + Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

If you have been hanging out here a bit you see most of my recipes are savory meals and cocktails, so when I was recently invited to a cookie swap, a small wave of panic came over me. What to make? What cookie do I want to present to this group of new friends? What cookie represents me? Am I over thinking it? Perhaps but tell me there isn’t just a little pressure to for this type of situation.

After considering many options on Pinterest & Instagram I came to realize my favorite cookie is in fact just simply a traditional chocolate chip cookie. But since I was heading towards what was sure to be a table filled with visual and palate pleasers I decided to go crazy…. I substituted 1/2 the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips. Crazy I know!
