My father-in-law is a big fan of creamsickles, so I made these cookies to send down with my wife when she saw him on Father’s Day. I figured I’d try one and send the rest with her, but one quickly turned into three or four! While I’m a big fan of white chocolate, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about these, but they came out really well. The flavors are light and summery, and the cookies came out really soft and chewy. I will definitely be making these again.
NOTE: I also made a batch with semi-sweet chocolate chips (just substitute for the white chocolate). They were also excellent, though obviously with a different mixture of flavors.
