Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

So I have now made these cookies twice and they are just so easy and so surprisingly delightful! 

I will always love standard chocolate chip cookies, but these take a close second!  They also whip up a bit faster which makes me a fan!  I don't make a lot of cookies as they seem to take FOREVER!  Between the mixing, the endless scooping of dough and then waiting for each tray to bake!  Oh my!  Since I don't have multiple ovens like my mom, making cookies can become an all afternoon process!  Plus I end up eating lots of dough, which actually makes for less baking but not as much sharing!

When I do make cookies, I do use a pretty small scoop, which adds to the time, but then makes the cookies so cute and bite sized!  Who can say no to a pretty little cookie huh?  Not me!

Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, seeing those white chocolate chips again will have me making these again real soon!
