white & chocolate chip chocolate cookies.

I hadn't baked any sweets in probably 3 weeks so this was necessary. These are chewy with just the right amount of crunch. They are bursting with chocolate chips  in every bite. Hershey's calls these cookies "perfect white chip chocolate cookies". I have to admit they are pretty close to perfect.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Special Dark Cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

• 1. Heat oven to 350°F.
• 2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. Stir together flour, cocoa, and baking soda; gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in both kinds of chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• 3. Bake 8 to 9 minutes. (Do not overbake; cookies will be soft. They will puff while baking; flatten upon cooling.) Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
