RecipeLove's Note:

I got this recipe from a friend since I'm a big fan of white chocolate and I loved it! I'm not sure where she got it, but I thought it was good enough to post here for anyone who's looking for a good cookie recipe!

One of the best cookie recipes ever! These honestly turned out soo amazing and like a lot of other cookie recipes, I expected the cookies to turn hard after an hour or so but they didn't! It's been over a day and they're still as soft as they were when they came out of the oven. The flavor is also perfect.. It's not too sweet, it's just perfect. Everyone who tried it loved it!

I forgot to mention, I baked the cookies for 13 minutes, they were golden.

I wasn't so sure about these cookies last night when I made them, as I felt something was missing. However, this morning, I couldn't stop eating them! Very chewy and addictive. The extra day really made a big difference to the taste.
