SNOWY MOUNTAIN COOKIES

I was so excited to bake these with my mom after coming home from studying abroad in Germany. They remind me of the Swabian Alps I could see from my room there. Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate; it'll lose that attractive shine. -Stephanie Bouley, North Smithfield, Rhode Island

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating: The cookies will continue to cook as they cool. Let them cool completely before eating to ensure they are the perfect texture.

Conclusion:

Mountain cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect mountain cookies that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
