NOTES : Vanilla Milk Chips
Vanilla milk chips and white baking chocolate bars can burn easily, so it's important to melt them over low heat while stirring frequently. Don't confuse vanilla milk chips or white baking chocolate bars with white candy coating. White candy coating is also called almond bark, compound white chocolate and confectionery or summer coating. Candy coating contains oil versus cocoa butter, more sugar and lacks the rich vanilla and dairy flavor of the baking bars or chips.

Vanilla Sugar
Add even more to the flavor of these cookies by using vanilla sugar. Make your own by placing a piece of vanilla bean in an airtight container of granulated sugar for 3 to 4 days.
