I made these cookies before I went to work this afternoon, when I came home they were almost all gone. Everybody loved these adults and kids alike. This little gem has melted white chocolate in the batter as well as white chocolate chips. I only had 4 ounces of white chocolate in bar form so I used white chocolate chips instead of chunks to mix in the batter. I also used the chips to melt for drizzling on the top of the cookie. White chocolate heaven! I'd really like to try these with semi sweet chocolate because I think that would go well with the raspberry preserves too. I did make one adaption to the recipe though. The recipe called for putting the raspberry preserves on top of the cookie then drizzling with white chocolate. Although I think that would be very pretty on a cookie tray , maybe for Christmas, I was thinking about all the sticky little fingers that would be left behind if I did that. I decided to put the raspberry preserves in the batter. I did this after the batter was done and all ingredients were mixed, it was a spur of the moment decision. You could actually add this earlier when you're beating the wet ingredients together. It gave this cookie a very nice mellow raspberry flavor that was very well liked. I made the cookies a little bigger than the recipe called for because my feeling is if your gonna eat a cookie....eat a cookie! This turned out to be a nice soft cookie, I let them in the oven for the 9 minute baking time and let them on the cookie sheet for a minute or so to finish baking, I also used parchment paper on the cookie sheet. I'm so glad I found this recipe, raspberries and white chocolate make a great cookie!

Oh white chocolate and raspberry is such a classic combo, I bet these were amazing.
Oh gosh . . . you have to stop doing this to me! I am drooling in my shoes again! These are so yummy looking!! I think I just gained ten pounds and that was just from licking my screen!
Those look fabulous! I'll have to try them!
I don't think these would last long in my home either. :) They look soooo good.
for a long time, my favorite dessert was white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, so to say that i'm a fan of that combination would be an understatement. there's no way these cookies would last a day in my house, i'm sure of that! :)
Doesn't it feel good when you make something then go on about your chores or whatever to find that it has been devoured and enjoyed by your loved ones! But I am not at all surprised, they sound and look wonderful.
