White Chocolate Sugar Cookies



These are delicious. I was very tempted to eat all the dough before it could even go in the oven. It was worth baking them, though. The edges got crispy and the middle was chewy. Sooo good. Definitely use good quality chocolate. I used ghirardelli white chocolate baking bar, white and milk chocolate chips for these. The original recipe had dried cranberries, but none of my family like fruit in their cookies.
Sorry these pictures are so terrible, but the cookies are SO good! :)
