White Chocolate Crackles

Not quite your average cookie! White Chocolate Crackles are light and fluffy with a sweet flavor and crispy sugar top. Your tummy is going to want more ^^ These are a new found favorite of both me and my fiance. I baked three dozen tonight and there is only six left!

Here's What You Do:

1/2C Butter

1/2C Shortening (I like the one that comes in baking sticks)

1/2C Sugar

1/2C Packed Brown Sugar

1 Egg

1 Tsp Vanilla

2C All Purpose Flour

1Tsp Baking Soda

1Tsp Cream of Tartar

1/2Tsp salt

6oz White Baking Chocolate (I always use the Ghirardelli baking bars)

Additional Sugar 

• In a large bowl cream together both sugars, butter and shortening. When it is light and fluffy, beat in the egg and vanilla.
• Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture and mix well.
• Take the white chocolate and chop into small chunks. Stir into the dough. 
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until the dough is easy to handle. 
• Roll dough into 1in. balls.  Dip each ball halfway in water and then in sugar. 
• Place sugar side up about 2in. apart on ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake at 400 for about 8 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Yield = 3-4 dozen
