For people with a serious sweet tooth, white chocolate really can't be beat. My husband prefers it, and he also loves caramel and sweet wines like Moscato. Personally, I can't do a whole bar of it, but baked into something like these cookies, I found them absolutely irresistible. Everyone loves what they love, and I'm not trying to stand between anyone and a delicious treat.

Tips for making White Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is a delicious small batch recipe that makes about a dozen cookies, and it doesn't require any chilling. It's perfect for a couple of days worth of treats for two people. The only thing that's really different is that you are only using an egg yolk instead of a whole egg. Reserve your egg white for something else like almond flour cookies.
For this recipe, the white chocolate is the star of the show. If you use store brand white chocolate chips, they'll be awesome. If you did feel like splurging, though, this is the place to do it. Higher quality white chocolate definitely tastes better and melts more smoothly. Use the best you can afford, even if that's the cheapest they have. It will always be awesome.
Cookies are meant to be shared, and these white chocolate chip cookies are no exception. Wrap them up as gifts for friends or bring them to your next gathering. They’re sure to disappear in no time—like magick!
