Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a good quality white chocolate: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before cutting them into bars: This will help prevent them from crumbling.
