#Creative Cookie Exchange: White Chocolate Snickerdoodles

I love the flavor of white chocolate, real white chocolate, which is actually rather an ivory color. White chocolate has cocoal butter, milk and sugar in it and has a strong flavor all of its own. I think if you taste white chocolate and think it is going to taste like milk, dark, or any other kind of chocolate, you might be disappointed!

This cookie uses white chocolate pudding for its flavor base. The flavor is gentle, and allows the cinnamon to shine as well. Delicious, soft, with a bit of chew, cookie!

The theme this month is White Chocolate! White chocolate is seriously underrated as a baking ingredient--it complements so many other flavors so nicely, like citrus, spices, berries, winter squash, etc. So if you want to see all the ways white chocolate can be used to make terrific cookies, you have come to the right place!
