Amazing with white chocolate chips - I made half with semi sweet and half with white. The white flavour really compliments the molasses in the dough.

Good stuff. I found this recipe in Taste of Home Holiday Celebrations Cookbook 2008. The only thing different I did was use butter in place of the shortening. Nice twist to a boring chocolate chip cookie. Thanks for posting!
