minutesThis recipe is a favorite from one of my favorite cookbooks. If you are a fan of baking delicious, easy recipes I am happy to recommend Shelly Jaronsky, Cookies and Cups Cookbook. One of my best friends who is an accomplished cook gave it to me. It is well loved as pages are splattered and coming out of the binding. I can say all the recipes are incredible but this is a favorite. I will say I make this more often then not with peanut butter chips instead of white chocolate. Both work great and both taste great. You can’t go wrong.
