Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tomorrow is the big reveal of the dessert featuring cookies, and today's post features chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.
I always think of these cookies as the opposite of chocolate chip cookies. An inside-out chocolate chip cookie, you may say, since they have a dark base, light mix-in versus light base, dark mix-in. But really they aren't opposites seeing that a standard chocolate chip cookie's base is not in any way related to white chocolate. It's still a fun way to think about these cookies, which have an almost brownie taste to them with a cookie texture— soft and chewy since I chose to incorporate cornstarch into the dough, a standard "secret weapon" for soft and chewy cookies.
Be prepared to share because this recipe makes a lot of cookies! I started making the cookies really big, bakery-style toward the end so that I wouldn't end up with 4 dozen!
