White Chocolate Cookies image

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.
