Notes

I frosted them with a store bought cream cheese frosting and added sprinkles. If you don’t have sprinkles, you can break up one cookie into fine crumbs and sprinkle the frosting with the cookie crumbs, it looks really nice!
Do NOT use use shortening, the cookies are too greasy and really fall.
Using the white chocolate chips in the cookies is like adding baked in frosting, it made the cookies fantastic!  If you do, eat them while they are hot, or pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften the chips.
