🎄 Winter Wonderland Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies 🍪

A cozy, festive spin on the classic cookie with rich chocolate chips, snowy white chocolate, and a sprinkle of holiday magic.


🕰 A Brief History of the Chocolate Chip Cookie

The chocolate chip cookie was first created in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She added chopped pieces of a Nestlé chocolate bar to her cookie dough, expecting them to melt—what happened instead was the birth of an American classic. Since then, the cookie has evolved into countless varieties, including today’s festive twist: a wintery, snow-dusted delight that brings holiday joy with every bite.

🍽️ Instructions:

🔧 Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

🥣 Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

🥄 Step 5: Scoop & Bake
