Why This Recipe Works
When I was in college a good friend of mine made these cookies. On this particular occasion she sent me home with a small plate of these beautiful cookies. On my drive home I decided to sample one. Before I made it home the ENTIRE plate was gone! Whoops. Ever since then these have been an absolute love. These cookies are simple to make, soft, chewy, and have a splash of bright raspberry paired with white chocolate.
About The Ingredients
A few things to note while shopping for your ingredients:
White chocolate baking bar - select a baking bar as opposed to chocolate chips. The bar melts better.
Seedless raspberry jam - when selecting your jam opt for seedless. This makes for a smoother cookie.

Yes! I freeze these babies all the time! You can freeze them completed, or you can freeze them prior to adding the jam. Store them in an airtight container or freeze bag.
