RECIPE
White Chocolate Christmas Cookies
One of the best things about Christmas is all the baking especially Christmas Cookies. I have loved baking Christmas Cookies since I was kid. I remember standing on stool and baking with my mom. Now a days, Isabella stands on a stool to bake with me. JJ out grew standing on the stool in the past 6 months or so. Sometimes it is the little things that make me smile.
These cookies are a fun twist on the a chocolate chip cookie and sugar cookie. I love starting cookies with melted butter. I find that it helps make cookies a little bit softer and chewy. A little bit of sugar and brown sugar for the sweetness. Brown sugar always makes cookies soft. We add some vanilla to give a nice vanilla taste. Just a little bit of cornstarch helps make cookies soft. We add white chocolate chips and Christmas Sprinkles for the finishing touch. We use dye free sprinkles. Trader Joes has them this year. Also Watkins and Supernatural carries them too, I will put links in the Tips Section.
