WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES
Fixing desserts is my favorite kind of cooking. I usually make these cookies for Christmas-their pale-white adds a special touch to all the reds and greens. We-my husband, our daughter (6) and I-live on a real dirt road! I'm a full-time wife and mother. Our second child's due to join us in mid-January.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients and tools are ready. This will make the baking process smoother and less stressful.
- Properly Measure Ingredients: Use accurate measuring tools to ensure the correct proportions of each ingredient. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are crucial for success.
- Follow the Recipe: Baking is not a time for experimentation. Follow the recipe's instructions carefully and avoid making substitutions unless you are confident in your baking skills.
- Quality Ingredients: Use the best quality ingredients you can afford. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in better-tasting cookies.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. This step is especially important for cookies that contain a lot of butter.
- Properly Preheat the Oven: Ensure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. An accurate oven temperature is essential for even baking.
- Monitor Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they are baking. Ovens vary, so the baking time may differ slightly from the recipe's instructions. Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let the Cookies Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the cookies from crumbling.
