White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chewy cookies with crisp edges and great vanilla flavor from the white chocolate chips. It's a one-bowl, easy recipe with simple ingredients that needs no chilling time before baking. You can make them ahead and freeze the scooped cookie dough for a month, so you can have freshly baked cookies every time you crave them!

Cookie baking has officially started and I'm sharing a very simple recipe today to add to your holiday gift list or celebration table. Or just because. There doesn't have to be a reason. I strongly advocate for a year-long cookie season.
