I found this recipe that someone posted saying it was on the back of a bag of ghirardelli white chocolate chips. Maybe you can substitute the double chocolate chips for the white. "This recipe was in the cookbook which came in a Ghirardelli gift basket. I believe itÂs also on the back of their white chips. Not being a huge fan of white chips, I just used chocolate. These are really good. TheyÂre not at all chewy, but I wouldnÂt call them cakey either. TheyÂre tender, bordering on fudgy, and puffy. The dough is basically a good transport system for the chocolate chips, so use really good chocolate chips. Oh, and Ghirardelli cocoa powder is really good." Double Chocolate Cookies 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cups Ghirardelli premium unsweetened cocoa 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 cups Ghirardelli classic white chips Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In bowl of electric mixer, beat butter with sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs, beating at low speed until combined. Add vanilla. Add flour, unsweetened cocoa and baking powder to creamed mixture and fold until combined. Fold in chips. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Allow 3 inches between cookies. Bake at 300 degrees for 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from baking sheets. Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies.

I copied this recipe too as my kids love seeing those "cookie cakes" at the bakery, but we never buy them. Thanks Sheliajoyce! Last time i made cookies, I didn't feel like making individual ones, so I made a double batch and spread the dough into a 9X13 pan (lasagna pan). I had to cook about 10-12 minutes longer for the center to be done. Tasted like cookies, but texture of brownies. My husband who is not normally huge on sweets-LOVED them!

Brad, I was just going to ask if you sprinkled the chips while the bars were hot, so they would melt, we must have been thinking along the same lines. They look very good. I just made some maraschino cherry and white chocolate shortbread for a birthday party, I do like white chocolate, although I did see that the bag of Ghiradelli white chips now calls them vanilla chips instead of white chocolate. They still taste the same, though. Hmmm... Annie

Thanks for replying Ricky. I really like mint though, I think I'm going to leave it out completely in half the cookies & put in only about an eighth teaspoon in the remainder & see how I like it, see how it goes.
