We had a craving for cookies at the grocery store and found a package of white chocolate chips with a picture of dark brownie cookies covered in milk chocolate pieces. We even had all the ingredients at home!

They are delicious, in fact so great that we felt the need to blog about them. The cocoa gives them the sophisticated dark chocolate flavour that is so difficult to achieve at home usually.
