🍪 Inside-Out Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: 4½ dozen cookies
At Lula Grove, we love a twist on tradition—and these Inside-Out Chocolate Chip Cookies are just that. Instead of the usual semisweet chips, this recipe flips the script with creamy white baking chips nestled in a rich cocoa base. The result? A decadent, chocolate-forward cookie with a sweet surprise in every bite.
Whether you're baking for a church potluck, a cozy homeschool afternoon, or just treating yourself, these cookies are a crowd-pleaser. We've made a few thoughtful tweaks to the original recipe to balance richness and texture, including reducing the butter slightly and dialing down the salt for a smoother finish.
