Not so Peachy? Try Chocolate

As I mentioned, my family was in town last weekend. I knew that Philip, my brother, wouldn't eat the upsidedown cake, so I was looking for something he would eat. I wanted to do a Whopper cookie, but I didn't have any Whoppers. I decided to make some chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips in them. I think these turned out great and could be changed around to fit your tastes. These cookies are from The Cookie Bible. Suggestions for add-ins include chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, mini-kisses, mint chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and toffee. Take your pick and use this as a base batter. If you like brownies but want a cookies, this is a recipe to use! Design Your Own Chocolate Cookies
