Colossal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies

I just posted my latest Novice2Pro Interview with cookbook authors Heather and Lucinda Wallace and they were nice enough to send me a couple of recipes including Lucinda’s favorite one for Colossal Double Chocolate White Chip Cookies.

Heather and Lucinda’s new cookbook, 101 Easy Peasy Cookie Recipes is filled with recipes like this that are easy enough for us home cooks to prepare. You can read their entire interview and learn more about their new book at my Novice2Pro Interview with Heather and Lucinda Wallace.

Beat eggs and vanilla extract into butter mixture. Gradually stir in flour mixture. Stir in milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chips, and nuts.
