- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and the chopped pecan nuts
- Preheat oven to 1800C
- Drop rounded teaspoons of white chocolate dream dough roughly 5cm (2”) apart onto non-greased baking trays
- Place loaded baking trays into the preheated oven and bake at 1800C for 12 – 14 minutes or until the white chocolate dreams are firm
- Once cooked, remove the white chocolate dreams from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool
- When cooled transfer the white chocolate dreams to an airtight container ready to be served
Yield: These portions will yield around 4 dozen scrumptious white chocolate dreams
