White Chip Chocolate Cookies

This cookie is like a chocolate-chip cookie - only in reverse.  I must admit, it's a recipe off the back of a Nestle White Chocolate Chip bag so all the credit goes to the baking people at Nestle House.  All you have to do is get out some classic cookie baking ingredients, including baking cocoa (that makes the chocolate part of the cookie dough).  The family here at the Skitt House recently tried this flip-flopped chocolate cookie with white chips for the first time and gave it a resounding "thumbs up".  So give something backwards a try.  You'll like it!

2 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12 oz. pkg.) Nestle Toll House Premier White Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine:  flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in small bowl.  Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in large bowl until creamy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in morsels.  Drop by well-rounded tsp. onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 9-11 minutes or until centers are set.  Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks and cool.

Hint:  My ten-year-old son and his soccer buddy liked these cookies warm, right out the oven!
