White Chocolate Chip Cookies

…with a hint of orange!

Each and every time I make chocolate chip cookies I think of Phoebe on “Friends”.

Remember the episode where she talks about her French Grandmother and her Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Phoebe: “Neslay Toollouse”

Monica: “Nestle Tollhouse?!?”

Phoebe: “You Americans always butcher the French language”.

LOL! GO HERE if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Ok. This post is not about Phoebe. Sorry. But it is about someone very special!

You see, today is a great day! Today I get to see my Mommy!

I sound like I’m 10 again, but it’s MOM…it’s okay to be 10, again, around Mom.

It’s been two months since my Mom went to visit my sister in Macedonia, and we have missed her a lot. Especially my daughter – she LOVES her Baba!

SO to celebrate her return I made her some treats that contain two of her favorite ingredients; white chocolate and oranges.

I argue with her that white chocolate is not chocolate, but she doesn’t agree. And, if it’s not white chocolate, then I better serve her something with Toblerone. Not bad choices.

In as far as the recipe for these cookies… well… no secrets here. I just turn to the back of the Nestle Tollhouse bag, and only tweak a couple of things.
