White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Before I give you the recipe, let me tell you a story. My nephew from Upstate NY is up here in NC to see my brother-in-law and his family. I found out at about noon today that we’re having a get together party. For 2 hours I couldn’t think of anything I could make for the party. It starts at 7pm. I knew that my dear sister-in-law will have all sorts of dips for chips and most probably finger foods. So I told my husband there is no point in making my own. He suggested potato salad. It’s not a BBQ party and the party sounded like a chips and dips kind of gathering so I doubt anybody would eat potato salad.
On the 3rd hour, I decided to make cookies. Who wouldn’t eat cookies? Especially white chocolate chip cookies.

Spring "Blossoms" CupCakes
Before my son goes back to school after a short Spring Break thanks to so many snow days, we made cupcakes. He called them Spring “Blossoms” Cupcakes. He said it reminded him of the Apple (or is it Cherry?) Blossoms tree near Nan and Pop’s house.
Toffee & Chocolate Chip Cookies
My husband like toffee bars (HEATH) so once in a while, when I’m not looking, he tries to sneak in a package of HEATH English Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits in the shopping cart for me to use when making cookies.
Using my chocolate chips cookies recipe, I make him happy by baking Toffee & Chocolate Chip Cookies.
