Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I just have to tell you about this wonderful store that I've been shopping at for almost two years now. It's called The Prepared Pantry. They have a wonderful assortment of things to buy - pots and pans, gadgets, jams, syrups, gormet food, mixes of all kinds like cookies, breads, pancakes, muffins, and on and on and on! I love it!! Everything that I've tried from them has been wonderful so I buy things for my family members from the Prepared Pantry and they have loved them.

One of the best parts about their company is that they package their mixes in mylar bags so that they will last a long time and will still be good if there's a flood, for instance. Anyway, you'll have to check out their website at http://www.preparedpantry.com/ and just browse their wide variety of things that they sell. You can also sign up for their emails and cooking classes, which I do and find very informative!

This past Christmas, I gave all of my family cookie mixes. There is such a fun and unique variety I think I bought about 10 different kinds and then several of their most popular cookie, which is what I want to talk about today. Their best selling cookie is their Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Cookie. I had heard so many good things about them that I decided to try them out myself.

Now it is very rare that I will make cookies, or many other things, from a mix. But one thing I liked about this mix was that they actually are like homemade, from scratch, cookies. And they are very simple to make. You just follow the instructions on the bag and you have freshly baked cookies in no time! IDEAL FOR MAKING WITH KIDS!!!!

Here's what I did...

Super easy and fast! Love that!! And if I remember right, all you have to add are the eggs and butter. Now about the flavor and texture - not what I had expected. There is oatmeal in the mix that give these cookies a nice and slightly chewy texture to it. I don't normal like oatmeal in my cookies (unless they are oatmeal cookies), but it worked very well and I really liked it.

But it was the flavor that got me the most. These cookies are so different, different from any cookie I've ever tried, that I kept going back for more to enjoy the combination of white chocolate and raspberry. The comment that I got from everyone that I shared them with was, "Wow, what is that?!" Give them a try if you want something a little different and unexpected!
