    White Chip Dream Cookies


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp baking soda
    1 cup unsalted butter or margarine, softened (if using margarine, use sticks)
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
    1 large egg
    2 tsp grated orange peel
    12 ounces white chocolate*, cut into morsels

    TOPPING:
    2 squares (2 oz) white chocolate*
    2 squares (2 oz) semisweet chocolate
    2 plastic storage bags

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or use silpat-lined cookie sheets.

    Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in bowl.

    Cream butter and sugars in large mixer bowl at medium- high speed. Beat in egg and orange peel. With mixer at low speed, gradually add dry ingredients just until blended. Stir in white chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.

    Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Do not overbake. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Cool cookie sheets between batches by either running hot sheets under cold water or refrigeration, or by alternating with extra sheets. Arrange cookies on sheet of waxed paper.

    Microwave white chocolate squares in a heavy- duty plastic storage bag on High 1 to 1 1/2 minutes; gently squeeze/knead until smooth. Repeat process with semisweet chocolate.

    Cut a Teeney-Tiny hole in one corner of white-chocolate bag. Pipe or drizzle lines across tops of cookies, then repeat with semi-sweet chocolate (drizzle opposite direction). Let stand until chocolate sets. Recipe says 30 minutes; I found that you may have to chill briefly.

    Yield: 5 dozen.

    *Use only white chocolate that contains cocoa butter. I use Lindt Swiss White.
