White Chip Chocolate Cookies

Looking in the cupboard the other day, I realized that we have accumulated a PLETHORA of white baking chips. So I decided to make a batch of cookies to use some of them up. Luckily, there was a recipe on the back of the package, and (amazingly) I actually had all the ingredients. If you like the combination of chocolate and white chips, then this recipe is for you! The cookies were quite tasty. For quality assurance purposes, I tested several. :-)

White Chip Chocolate Cookies

Estimated Times:
Preparation - 10 min | Cooking - 9 min | Cooling Time - 15 min cooling | Yields - 60 cookies (5 dozen)

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350° F.

COMBINE flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop by well-rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets. (Note: The dough is very stiff!)
